About Lucinda Williams
Her songs are the fabric that binds the perfect knit between blues, country and folk music. Lucinda Williams is a two-time Grammy award winning singer songwriter whose words have struck a passionate chord among numerous fan bases. Known for her traditionalistic style, her songs capture a commercial sound.

Williams recently shared with the Austin 360 newspaper, that her current release, Blessed, is satisfying and more reflective and mature than her past collections. Writer Brian T. Atkinson called it "absolutely seamless" and "one of her finest moments" and "unparalleled elegance for an hour straight."

After releasing her first albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it was the 1988 self-titled album that featured one of her most famous pieces - "Passionate Kisses." In 1994 Mary Chapin Carpenter covered the song, earning Williams the Grammy for Best Country Song. Williams released Car Wheels on a Gravel Road in 1998. The album reached Gold status and earned another Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album.

Williams' critical acclaim has never faltered. In 2002 Time Magazine named her "America's Best Songwriter." She has been nominated time and again at the Grammy's for such categories as Best Female Country Vocal Performance, Best Rock Song for "Come On" and in 2010 Best Americana Album for Little Honey and Best Song Written for Motion Picture, TV or Other Media for "Kiss Like Your Kiss" from True Blood.
