Description Lucinda Williams - Little Honey (2008) EAC rip (secure mode) | FLAC (tracks)+CUE+LOG -> 401 Mb Full Artwork @ 300 dpi (png) -> 82 Mb Lucinda Williams does anguish so well it’s easy to forget that Happy Woman Blues is not just the title of her 1980 album, but also the way she thinks of herself. That identity comes across full force in Little Honey, the follow-up to 2007’s heavily brooding West, where her melancholy voice seemed to creak with sadness. Here, a full-throated Williams revels in the rejuvenation of her engagement to her manager/co-producer Tom Overby, over whom she’s positively giddy on "Real Love." Her newfound bliss opens the floodgates to a musical revival, as well, since Little Honey, her ninth studio album, ranks as one of her most diverse, ranging from pounding rock ‘n’ roll (the raw sex of the title track) to the Hank Williams-ish country blues of "Well, Well, Well," to "Knowing"'s ‘60s soul. But some of the finest writing appears on "Plan to Marry," as thoughtful a meditation on love as any time-honored sonnet. Just when Williams seems to have run the gamut, she pulls out a Stones-y (via Louisiana) cover of AC/DC’s "It’s a Long Way to the Top" as the punctuation mark. It all makes for a rollicking ride with one of roots-rock's most unpredictable and passionate artists. Little Honey is a much happier album the Lucinda's last album, West, although I'm not sure it's better, it's just as good just the same. The album kicks off with "Real Love" a rocking, happy tune. It's something we've never heard from Lucinda, then it goes into the country-tinged ballad "Circles and X's" which was actually written over twenty years ago and I'm not sure why she hadn't used it before, and she slips into a very bluesy "Tears Of Joy" talking about playing games but now she has met a man to whom she loves, then comes the loud, beautiful "Little Rock Star", now this is one of the highlights, most definitley, it may even be the best song on the album. "Honey Bee" is a fast raunchy rocker, it is fun although a bit silly. "Well Well Well" comes next and I must say, it's a bit too country for my taste. It's an okay song, but again just not my taste. If "Well Well Well" was a disappointment, "If Wishes Were Horses" made up for it and then some! This is my second favorite next to "Little Rock Star". But then things take a turn downward when we get to "Jailhouse Tears", which again is an okay song but I think adding Elvis Costello's vocals wasn't a great idea, but the song itself is okay. So now we're on "Knowing" and I must say, it's a beautiful little love song and "Heaven Blues" is a wonderful little blues song about going to Heaven, the music is almost too happy for lyrics that are so sad. "I'm gonna see my mother up in Heaven…" "Rarity" is another beautiful love song and "Plan To Marry" is about how "love is a sword" and a song for those who love, believe in love and why people marry. "It's A Long Way To The Top" is a cover and it's a great rock n' roll closer to an awesome Lucinda Williams album! 5 stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracklist: ------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - Real Love 02 - Circles ands X's 03 - Tears of Joy 04 - Little Rock Star 05 - Honey Bee 06 - Well Well Well 07 - If Wishes Were Horses 08 - Jailhouse Tears 09 - Knowing 10 - Heaven Blues 11 - Rarity 12 - Plan to Marry 13 - It's a Long Way to the Top *2008 Lost Highway Records / Universal | B001143402 Personnel: Lucinda Williams – vocals, acoustic guitar Butch Norton – drums, percussion David Sutton – electric bass, double bass, cello Chet Lyster – electric and acoustic guitars, saw and table steel Doug Pettibone – electric and acoustic guitars, pedal steel Additional musicians Rob Burger – wurlitzer, vibraphone, piano, Hammond organ Matthew Sweet, Susanna Hoffs – backing vocals ("Real Love", "Little Rock Star", "Rarity") Charlie Louvin, Jim Lauderdale – backing vocals ("Well Well Well") Elvis Costello – vocals ("Jailhouse Tears") Susan Marshall, Gia Ciambotti, Kristenin Mooney – backing vocals ("Tears of Joy") Kristen Mooney, Tim Easton, Susan Marshall – backing vocals ("It's a Long Way to the Top") Jim Lauderdale, Susan Marshall, Gia Ciambotti, Kristen Mooney – backing vocals ("Jailhouse Tears") Bruce Fowler – trombone Walt Fowler – flugelhorn Albert Wing – tenor sax Enjoy and Sharing, Thanks!
