Free Music Notes for Sweet Old World
Free Music Review: Sweet Lucinda
Hit: 4 Stars
I came to this album after I head *Car Wheels On a Gravel Road.* No, its lyrics don't have the ethereal grit of that album, but *Sweet Old World* is well worth the few bucks it costs. Lucinda's pipes sooth my miles on the road like few others can. When she sings "it's a sweet old world," I believe her. And when she sings that "he never got enough love," I know she believes him, even though his excuses are a crock. Lucinda is the kind of lover we fragile types admire; she loves us despite our failings. Whether we're "drunken angels" or blow our brains out with a .44, Lucinda sings with compassion and understanding about us. To my mind, she's the sexiest singer / songwriter working. She does it for me, even from "six blocks away."Free Music Review: Sweet old world

I was inspired to write this review after reading some of the others. "Sweet Old World" is actually my favorite Lucinda Williams album (although they are all favorites in their own way). I would say it is more bluesy than folksy. I find the album's meditations on suicide very poignant and deeply felt, unlike the listener from New York who wrote the weirdly bitter review below. My family has a history of clinical depression, and my sister committed suicide a few years ago. The title song, "Sweet Old World," expresses everything I wish I could have said to her--especially the line "Didn't you think that you were worth anything?" which always makes me cry. If you love exquisite songwriting and singing, and you don't mind being emotionally touched by what you hear, buy this album.Free Music Review: Well worth the hunt

Back in 92, Hot Blood got a minor airplay in Northern California. The song stuck in my head for seven years before buying the CD. Obviously, the disk is much more thoughtful than one woman's obsession. It will be a long term keeper in my CD collection!Free Music Review: Don't pass it by.
