Thanks Lefty, great read, and so true, really enjoyed it..
Picked up my copy of Little Honey yesterday, and like all good music it gets better the more you play it.
Lucinda just HAS to tour over here next year to promote it…pretty please.. 😆
Thanks for posting this, Lefty. I didn’t even know that Chrissie & Co. had a new album come out last week – I guess I’ve been under a rock waiting on Little Honey to be released. So, I ordered a copy of Break Up The Concrete just a few minutes ago.
Good article, too… 8)

A wise purchase, Tom. Chrissie is in good voice on this one. She has one of the great voices in rock’n’roll history, imho.

Indeed. I was thrilled to see her “back in action”. I’m really looking forward to it.

Thanks Lefty,
This Jeff Meirs writeup is a good read, I like his writing style. Like Tom I didn’t know the Pretenders had a new album. I listened to the previews, and they do sound great. I found it interesting that after I ordered the album from Amazon it said “Customers who bought this album also bought: Lucinda Williams “Little Honey”

Oh, that was me, Steve… 😉 😆
I got Break Up The Concrete Thursday, but I’ve had a chance to listen to it only once (on the way up to Nashville to see Lu, actually). I really liked what I heard, though, & am looking forward to the next listen.

From contactmusic.com:
HEART star ANN WILSON is leading a U.S. poll to find the best female rock singer of all time.
Parade.com has been inundated with voting fans since the poll went live last week (28Nov08) – and more than half the 13,500 rockers who have participated picked the “Alone” singer ahead of stars like Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow and Stevie Nicks.
Wilson, who has received 55 per cent of the vote, tells the website she owes her singing success to pre-show preparation: “I warm up before each show by singing along with a Lucinda Williams or Emmylou Harris CD. It helps to open my throat and my soul.”
The Parade.com poll officially continues until the end of the week (05Dec08).Chrissie Hynde has about as much relevance as Marie Osmond making the top 100 singers from last month’s Rolling Stone. I’m sorry, she’s not even in the same league as LW…I’d rather break up the concrete with my head than listen to her ‘muzak’
Nice article – very interesting. I just want to give a little praise where it is due. I’ve just recently found Lucindas’ music and was knocked out. She is more than amazing. I’m speechless, seriously!!! And I’m not trying to sell her albums. The concert at the Filmore is an amazing collection of songs. She talks the talk because she has walked the walk. You can hear it in her voice and her lyrics are always poignant and unique to herself.
