Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Though the arrangements stray from Lucinda Williams's motherlode blend of blues, country, and folk, West may well be her best album. It is easily her most musically adventurous, and often her most lyrically inspired. Williams's singing has never sounded better, from the aching tenderness of "Where Is My Love?" to the ravaged catharsis of "Unsuffer Me." New York producer Hal Willner, who has worked with artists such as Marianne Faithful and Lou Reed, enlists the support of eclectic progressives like guitarist Bill Frisell, keyboardist Bob Burger, and violinist Jenny Scheinman, along with harmonies from the Jayhawks' Gary Louris, to weave a subtly rich sonic tapestry. Much of the material was inspired by the death of Williams's beloved mother ("Mama You Sweet," "Fancy Funeral") and the bitter breakup of a relationship (the jagged-edged emasculation of "Come On," the repetitive incantation of "Wrap My Head Around That"), though "Are You Alright?," "Learning How to Live," and "Everything Has Changed" could reflect the aftermath of both. Other highlights include "Rescue," with a languid subtlety and ambient pulse reminiscent of Beth Orton, and the dreamy, wistful title track. Where Williams's music has long cut close to the bone, the best of West slices right through it. --Don McLeese Lucinda Wiliams Photos

 Rating:  - She Breaks My HeartI've been a Beatlemaniac ever since I was thirteen years old. I can still remember the first time I heard the Fab Four: I had just woken up, and I could hear the radio in the kitchen, where my mom was doing whatever moms did in kitchens in 1964. "Holy smoke," I thought. "I've never heard anything like this before!" The song I was listening to was "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Popular music, of course, would never be the same; and neither would I. Over the years, a few other musical artists appeared whom I have consistently held in very high regard--Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello--though none ever quite reached the pinnacle of my personal hierarchy where the Beatles had always rested. It got to the point where I was sure ... Read More: Rating: - This is her Best Album to Date!I adore Lucinda Williams and her music. She has put her 'all' in this album and it shows. Her own brand of alternative folk is unique to her and her delivery with passionate emotion can't be surpassed. Only one new up-and-coming singer-songwriter Arrica Rose comes near her performance on her new album La La Lost...also with her own unique modern-day alternative sound, and the passion and writing talent of Lucinda. Buy them both. Rating: - A Fine DiscAnother great emotional disc from Lucinda. A must have for Lucinda fans but the heartbreak wears a bit thin. Rating: - This is her best since Gravel.There are a couple of songs that don't work for me (Words, Wrap Your Head Around That), but the rest more than make up for it. I especially enjoy "What If", "Mother You Sweet" and the title tune. "Come On" is also good for a laugh. A great, underrated album by a true musical treasure.
