These videos show why we love the singer

The recognition came late, but lasting: In 1998, Lucinda Williams became known with the album “Car Wheels On A Gravel Road”, a masterpiece of Americana songwriting. But Williams, born in Louisiana as the daughter of writer and lecturer Miller Williams, released her first album in 1979. After a long break, the highly acclaimed albums “Lucinda Williams” (1988) and “Sweet Old World” (1992) were released. Tom Petty and the Silos recorded versions of their song “Changed The Locks”.

After winning a Grammy for “Car Wheels…”, Lucinda Williams toured with Bob Dylan, releasing “Essence” (2001) and “World Without Tears” (2003). A live record with a concert at the Fillmore East and most recently the double album The Ghosts Of Highway 20 (2016) confirmed her status as the brightest country folk songwriter of her generation. Most recently, Williams released the Stones tribute You Are Cordially Invited… (2022).
