| For other persons named Lucinda Williams, see Lucinda Williams (disambiguation).This article has been tagged since July 2007.Lucinda Williams (born January 26, 1953) is an American rock, folk, and country music singer and songwriter.Early life
Williams was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the daughter of poet and literature professor Miller Williams and an amateur pianist.Her father worked as a visiting professor in Mexico and Chile as well as different parts of the American South, before settling at the University of Arkansas.Williams first live performance was in Mexico City at 17, as part a duo with her friend, a banjo player named Clark Jones.Titled Ramblin', it was a collection of country and blues covers.She followed it up in 1980 with Happy Woman Blues, which consisted of her own material.Neither album received much attention.In the 1980s Williams moved to Los Angeles, California (before finally settling in Nashville, Tennessee, where, performing both backed by a rock band and in acoustic settings, she developed a following and a critical reputation.The single "Changed the Locks", about a broken relationship, received radio play around the country and gained fans among music insiders, including Tom Petty, who would later cover the song.Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded a cover of "Passionate Kisses" (from Lucinda Williams) in 1992, and the song became a smash country hit for which Williams received the Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1994.And I feel strongly that that's country music's loss."Williams also gained a reputation as a perfectionist and slow worker when it came to recording; six years would pass before her next album release, though she appeared as a guest on other artists' albums and contributed to several tribute compilations during this period.Williams toured with Bob Dylan and on her own in support of the album.In 1999, Williams appeared on Return of the Grievous Angel: A Tribute to Gram Parsons, duetting with David Crosby on the title track of the tribute album.Williams followed up the success of Car Wheels with Essence (2001).Her seventh album, World Without Tears, was released in 2003.In 2006, Williams announced her engagement to music executive Tom Overby.The album was released on February 13, 2007 and contains 13 tracks and has a similar sound to World Without Tears.Hank Williams, part Bob Dylan, part Keith Richards circa Exile on Main St.Jesse Malin's 2007 album Glitter in the Gutter contains the track "Lucinda", an ode to Williams.Problems playing the files?External links
