WILLIAMS, LUCINDA
little honey
Release Date: 13/10/2008
lost highway release 'little honey', the new album from three-time grammy award-winner lucinda williams. 'little honey' is williams' ninth studio album and easily her most eclectic in a recording career that began in 1978. after 30+ years of writing, performing and recording, williams is in the middle of her most prolific period to date. in february of 2007, williams released the grammy-nominated and critically acclaimed 'west'. just over a year later williams returns with new sounds, familiar styles, new friends, renewed optimism and thought-provoking sentiment on 'little honey'. the 13-songs on 'little honey' showcase all of the elements that have made williams one of the most celebrated living songwriters. she revives the spirit of the delta on 'heaven blues', emanates beauty and heartache on 'the knowing', duets with elvis costello on the classic mini-drama 'jailhouse tears', sings poetry atop subtle horns on the epic 'rarity', and exudes the country blues on 'circles and x's', which she wrote in 1985. williams dives deeper into her rock roots than ever on tracks such as the album's opener 'real love', the intense, raw power of 'honey bee' and the grand crescendos of 'little rock star', where she draws on her personal wisdom from experience in a sincere letter to younger artists who walk the fine line between success and self-destruction. 'little honey' was produced by eric liljestrand, who engineered williams' 'west', and tom overby. along with costello, 'little honey' features guest vocals by matthew sweet, suzanna hoffs, jim lauderdale, tim easton and the legendary charlie louvin. williams is backed by her solid road band buick 6, which includes mainstay doug pettibone on guitar, with david sutton (bass) and former eels' members chet lyster (guitar) and butch norton (drums). keyboardist rob burger, who also played on 'west' returns for the 'little honey' sessions.
