Free Music Notes for Ramblin'
Free Music Review: Southern comfort
Hit: 5 Stars
"Purist stuff" is what Lucinda Williams called the material she used for this marvelous blusey folksy recording, made in 1978. There's an exquisite simplicity to the music, and superb musicianship; the only intruments are Ms. Williams on a 12-string guitar, and John Grimaudo on a 6-string. Though her voice might not be "perfect", it is remarkably expressive, with a unique and slightly nasal tone, and an elastic range. I find her sound much more satisfying then a lot of what I hear that is currently popular. The songs are a delight, from the familiar, like the traditional "Motherless Children", to the rarer gems like Memphis Minnie's "Me and My Chauffeur".
Ms. Williams did the terrific cover photo, the remastering is excellent, and the total time is 44:20
This is an easy, peaceful CD, like an old time classic that takes you back to less complicated times, it is a comfort and a treasure.
Free Music Review: Genuine, exceptional CD!
Hit: 5 Stars
Recorded in the late 70s, this is an excellent Blues-based album with a shot of traditionals. Lucinda does a phenomenal job with her acoustic guitar and a dobro at times, it's simple and pure -- no fancy arrangements. It's like the girl with a guitar joined at times by some fellow musicians in the living room and/or on the porch of a cozy home somewhere in the deep South -- even sounds like a nice evening around the camp fire. Great Americana! Her voice had already the edge on this CD which Lucinda fans have gotten to appreciate and treasure over the many years she has been around in the music scene. On this CD she also does "Little Darling Pal of Mine" as well as an excellent version of "Jamabalaya" and of all things the sweet "Great Speckled Bird" and "You're Gonna Need that Pure Religion."
I think every music fan in general will appreciate this really honest CD -- it's not easy to find good music like this anymore.
Free Music Review: Roots rock from the source
Hit: 5 Stars
"wanna be your chauffer" is one of those songs that lots of 30's record makers claim to have written, Lucinda's make of this is my favorite. Motherless child is the same music as Blind Willy Johnson's Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin' ..I can't remember recording date, I'm sure it's on Wiki' ..anyway I'm tring to point out this is REAL AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC recorded when Cindy was very young. She listened to Jimi Hendrix ZZTOP, the Who Muddy Waters and loved that music and still was TRUE TO HERSELF .... This was releast by the Smithsonian Institue before there was "alterantive"prefixing any kind of music......I LOVE THIS ALBUMFree Music Review: I Love This Album
Hit: 5 Stars
I have to admit, first, that I am already a big fan of Lucinda's work. I saw her in concert in November and she puts on a great show. This album is different than her others. It's folk music in it's most simple form.You can close your eyes and feel like you're listening to this on the porch of some old mansion in West Virginia circa 1919. If you are interested in historical music this is the CD for you.
It's timeless and so sweet.
Free Music Review: Pure, distilled Lucinda.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a truly excellent album. An early Williams album, it was recorded for Folkways Records, who specialized in folk, jazz and the blues. The clean, simple guitar accompanyment accentuates Lucinda's voice and the songs she sings. She has chosen a collection of songs that includes blues, country and traditional and performs them all well. The blues covers are especially good.This is a keeper.
