Album of the Year

From Lucinda Williams, full return to form, Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone--rare case where a double-lp could have been--but glad it wasn't--cut to a single.  From Dad's poem that opens to J.J. Cale at the close.   Especially notable for her own lyrics, from devotion to (many) fuck-offs.  When I was at Crawdaddy throughout 1970s she was just getting started in the blues/folk realm.   At bottom below, from 1989, when I discovered her.
