Raw Female Power
Ms. One of my favorite albums. Williams has, in my opinion, matured as a poet in the course of her career, and the title song, World Without Tears, is a remarkable piece of lyricism: "If we lived in a world/Without tears. . . How would broken find the bone?" This is an album about pain, and though that pain is peculiarly female in its quality and expression, I (a male) find it irresistible in its power, and magic in its expression. I cannot resist quoting a phrase from another song, Ventura, which describes the feelings of a lonely, loveless woman looking out at the Pacific at the end of day, searching for solace. "I wanna watch the ocean bend/The edges of the sun in. . . . " Male or female, we've all been there, I guess. Ms. Williams is backed up by a band that can range effortlessly from a lilting country twang to a drawn out acid screech. Some beautiful reverb on a couple of cuts. Complex, intimate lyrics and strong tunes. I have the tour version, which has some salty language, though only a little. But who cares? How do you express this kind of anguish without cursing?.


Don't miss it
It's got a great slow groove feel to a lot of it, very sensual, langorous. World Without Tears is a great CD. . . smoldering hot. This might actually be my favorite Lucinda CD, which is saying a lot. It's not a CD that immediately grabs you with hit singles, but if you give it a chance, play it when you want to relax and groove, you may start to realize how good it really is.

The voice of an angel in hell
Her words are like poems to the troubles of everyday life. This is one great ablbum with nealry every song a hit. Her voice is unique like honey over gravel. .
