First post!
I’m a longtime fan of Lu’s, but I don’t think I’ve ever been struck by one of her albums as much as BLESSED (listened on NPR). To me it sums up her the themes in her career so wonderfully while moving forward to a place of serenity as well. I am in awe of how each track continues the emotional impact of the overall album. It’s rare to find an LP so cohesive. Her songwriting is stunning, but even more so are her poetic lyrics. I am always equally as moved by her wordsmithing as I am her melodies. Wonderful, exquisite album. I cannot wait to see her in concert for the first time ever in Atlanta!
