With ten albums assets Lucinda Williams proves to be the most inspired singer of American rock in recent years, a soul songwriter, a singer's heart and the senses rockeuse arrived with Blessed to blend the two perfectly distinct aspects of his poetic rock, to ballads and twilight melancholy, often written in the wake of strong emotions triggered from grief and loss and that of a rock n 'roll rough and liberating, built on the screeching of guitars and exorcise demons and sorrows away. Blessed is not as innovative West, one of the magnificent title of his catalog, and even as the previous rocknrollistico Little Honey of 2009 but it is a jewel of equilibrium and good songs, some of the best ever written by Williams. It 's a disk where wisdom and experience are able to balance reflection and anger, instinct and reason, offering a requiem and hope songwriter and emotionally satisfied in dealing with the shiny things that surround it. It is not a happy album Blessed but rather the story of twelve short stories of ordinary and not always easy life that lead the listener to share emotions and doubts. Hear Lucinda Williams disc is usually an intense and Blessed does not differ from this because his songs do not give the possibility of distraction, there are no pauses emotional because everything here sounds improcrastinabile, absolutely need even for a few minutes, as if the loss of some verses and notes the general sense of compromise. It begins with the abrupt
time rock Buttercup and understand that inclusion in the production of Don Was next to her husband Tom Overby Williams and Eric Lilijestrand can only improve the work of Little Honey . And so is the spectrum of pain and ways of salvation that Williams has with its edge of the abyss ballads sung with a voice that bites you and your heart will not let you breathe is solved by the sounds in songs that have sipped perfectly a great communicative power.
The guided tour begins in the dark clouds of life with the muffled blues To Be Loved, but there is no anxiety because the winds more hope than ever before and autumn when a piano and lap steel folk music, the poignant lament of the Copenhagen death of Williams' manager, rather than a lump in my throat comes a comforting sweetness almost intimate. It 's the first of a requiem rock reaching peaks of early Tibetan Seeing Black in a memorable electric razor just see Elvis Costello with slashing lead guitar and a Hammond on the anthology struts sacred rage and helplessness triggered by the suicide of his friend Vic Chestnutt. A monumental rock n'roll devastating effect, a worthy companion of the title song, a ballad that comes with the slow and sleepy voice bloodless Williams and then gradually soaring volumes to explode in a 'grand finale, with the guitar (the beautiful Val McCallum), piano and rhythm section that orchestrate one of the most exciting moments of the entire catalog of the author.
If this is the zenith of disk, there are however stars as bright as convince me, another ballad that preaches sound and scratching electric with flowing guitar McCallum as Ugly Truth, which refers to the pessimism of Essence and how the weak and frightened Solider's Song "which tells the tragic story a soldier at war overseas and his wife and son away. And yet that sings Kiss Kiss Like Your fragile beauty, crystalline first colors of dawn, Sweet Love pure and simple as the title The Awakening and whisper night built on keyboards broken in the final acidity of guitar Val Mc Callum, a worthy substitute ' Doug Pettibone unforgettable.
ballads and rock n 'roll, reflection ruvidume and guitar, Blessed is another essential step in an evolution that knows no missteps. Gorgeous Williams.
