John Jurgensen Interviewed Lucinda Williams for The Wall Street Journal on her process for writing & archiving works in progress
By JOHN JURGENSEN Sept. 24, 2014
Lucinda Williams has been writing so many songs, she recently put together a filing system to keep them organized.
The 61-year-old singer stores the songs in a hot pink leather tote she had planned to use as a suitcase. Now the bag is loaded with dozens of file folders alphabetized by working titles. The files are filled with lyrics on computer printouts or jotted on cocktail napkins. Words are circled for emphasis on some; on another, scrawled notes call for “tougher slide guitar” or “more bite.”
“Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone” is now available at iTunes and Amazon!
Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone, the first release on Lucinda Williams’ own Highway 20 Records label, is easily the most ambitious creation in a body of work that’s long on ambition. Over the course of two discs, Williams leaves no emotional crevice left unexplored, drinking deeply from a well of inspiration that culminates with an offering that overflows with delta-infused country soul.
