LUCINDA!

What could be better than a new CD from Lucinda Williams, the singer songwriter goddess. While I have only listened to the entire CD once. (After all, I have an election to obsesses over) My initial reaction is, of course, the woman can do now wrong. There are a few fun, "oh, this would be good to play at the next party" songs. We would expect no less. There is also the use of the f word at just the right time. It's a signature for our dear lady. However, the song that slayed me upon first listen was "Heaven Blues" It's not up on youtube yet, but when it is, I'll post it. Spare words, but awesome singing and music.

Heaven Blues
-Gonna make it right, gonna make it right up in heaven
-Gonna see my mother, gonna see my mother up in heaven
-Gonna talk to God, gonna talk to God up in heaven
-Gonna make my heaven, gonna make my heaven, gonna make my own heaven
-Gonna make it right, gonna make it right when I get to heaven

Here's Lucinda on Letterman singing "Real Love"
