Lucinda Williams - Little Honey

The Lake Charles, Louisiana native is a major force in alt-country, with two formidable assets in her arsenal: an aching drawl of a voice that oozes sexuality and a writer’s way with words that gives her songs a strong observational and conversational edge. The daughter of American poet Miller Williams, Lucinda outdoes herself on her seventh album, painting a stroke-perfect portrait of Brit-rocker and habitual train wreck Pete Doherty and performing a wild duet with Elvis Costello about two boozy loser lovers.
