Music reviews of Little Honey
Music Review: Another Great Album for Lucinda Williams
Rating: 5 Stars
Little Honey caught me by surprise. I had heard Cars on a Gravel Road and several other Lucinda albums, but Little Honey is very different than it's predecessors. Now don't get me wrong. Lucinda is still bringing the bluesy/rock/alt-country madness that she always brings, but this album seems much more passionate and much more emotional than some of the other albums. Little Honey drips with intensity and you can feel every song.
I don't really think there is a bad song on the album, but a few really stand out for me. In particular, I fell in live with "Little Rock Star", "Honeybee" and "If Wishes Were Horses". But probably the highlight was Lucinda ripping through the AC/DC classic, "It's a Long Way to the Top". She absolutely kicks butt on this track and, in my opinion, brings new life to the song.
Simply put, this is one great album.
Description of Little Honey
Lucinda Williams has always been adept at painting landscapes of the soul, illuminating the spirit's shadowy nooks and shimmering crannies -- but she's never captured the sun breaking through the clouds as purely as on her new Lost Highway release, Little HoneyThe album features a duet with Elvis Costello "Jailhouse Tears" Other guest vocalists include Matthew Sweet, Susanna Hoffs, Jim Lauderdale, Tim Easton and Charlie Louvin.
The first single "Real Love" is available for download in the Amazon MP3 store.
Lucinda Williams does anguish so well it's easy to forget that Happy Woman Blues is not just the title of her 1980 album, but also the way she thinks of herself. That identity comes across full force in Little Honey, the follow-up to 2007's heavily brooding West, where her melancholy voice seemed to creak with sadness. Here, a full-throated Williams revels in the rejuvenation of her engagement to her manager/co-producer Tom Overby, over whom she's positively giddy on "Real Love." Her newfound bliss opens the floodgates to a musical revival, as well, since Little Honey, her ninth studio album, ranks as one of her most diverse, ranging from pounding rock 'n' roll (the raw sex of the title track) to the Hank Williams-ish country blues of "Well, Well, Well," to "Knowing"'s '60s soul. But some of the finest writing appears on "Plan to Marry," as thoughtful a meditation on love as any time-honored sonnet. Just when Williams seems to have run the gamut, she pulls out a Stones-y (via Louisiana) cover of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top" as the punctuation mark. It all makes for a rollicking ride with one of roots-rock's most unpredictable and passionate artists. -- Alanna Nash
