Lucinda Williams: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Рет қаралды 558,551
9 жыл бұрынShe came to the Tiny Desk a little unsure, and left singing "West Memphis" with intensity and passion. Lucinda Williams has a voice like no other, and it shines in these intimate moments.
Williams is on a roll with a new double album, Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone, which is filled with fresh and beautiful songs - all this from a songwriter known for working at a deliberate pace. Hearing her perform these new songs with her brilliant band was a rare and exciting treat. -- BOB BOILEN
Set List
" Something Wicked This Way Comes"
" Cold Day In Hell"
" Protection"
" West Memphis"
Credits
Producers: Bob Boilen, Maggie Starbard; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Colin Marshall, Maggie Starbard; Assistant Producer: Susan Hale Thomas; photo by Susan Hale Thomas/NPR

I like the new double album way more than Car Wheels, I'd say it's her best yet. She's done a lot of really great songs and albums before and since that one in fact ~ Lucinda's songwriting and singing just gets better and better

I have never experienced a singer/songwriter like Lucinda in 57 years of listening to music. I would love to see her perform in person but she does not make it out to Wyoming at all. It's like a door opens and you can see right into her heart when she performs. Amazing gift for words and music.

Hey NPR - how in the world could you leave out the names of the band? For shame... Stuart Mathis - guitar David Sutton - bass Butch Norton - drums These guys are amazing & invaluable to the sound that Lucinda achieves here. It's inexcusable to leave their names out of the description - especially when you've taken the time to include your production staff. Don't you understand how google and youtube searches work?

Stuart Mathis is one of the finest rock n roll guitarists around, in my humble opinion. It was great to hear him on the harp as well.Can't wait to see everyone again at the OLD TOWN SCHOOL in Chicago in April.

The band, holy smokes, one of the tightest sounds I have ever had the privilege of listening to, it was an incredible concert. Come back down under when all this sh*t is over Lucinda.
