Having worked on liner notes in the past that I edited multiple times, I can tell ya it sucks to see that mistakes still get through.
sure, we understand that. we only tried to help, as far as i’m concerned.
love those videos. good idea.
(oooh the videos from BLESSED. my god, 3 years! lucinda released another record but what have WE done with our lives??!?)

And just one thing, if you planned European tour, please come to Croatia. I’ve been of a few shows in Amsterdam and Germany, but time is hard and traveling is expensive.
if lucinda visits croatia before brazil I’D LOSE IT.
i’d pay no attention to slant. their writing staff is a bunch of pretentious snobs. it creeps me out. but a 4-out-of-5 from them is GLOWING. trust me on that.
i’m very glad people are liking this a lot. years ago i didn’t feel the love BLESSED deserved by the critics – and that upset me. this one will make things right again. it currently holds a 81 rating on metacritic.
for some reason (i’m a busy man!) i just found out about this today. i’m in love with BIG MESS, and i still keep listening to STOWAWAY and MAGNOLIA like it’s a 3-song album. until 2015 i’ll wrap my head around the other 17. what a joy to live in a world where lucinda williams releases her art.
i heard grammar police state is lovely this time of the year.
BTW, what an unwelcoming statement. im a proofreader, i earn money that way, and i just noted a very silly apostrophe missing. no big deal. maybe i shouldnt have said anything because the liner notes are OBVIOUSLY printed and ready to go (and maybe theyre perfect, after all), but those things should be noted so they can be corrected later on. reprints, reissues, resomething. its minimal but its there. publishing houses work that way, and theyre doing fine.
not exactly a problem (spoiling being a very strong word), but i’m so used to read the lyrics afterwards that the idea of getting a taste of every song beforehand seemed almost wrong.
i’ve read the lyrics from the 3 songs already “released”. there’s a WONT (instead of WON’T) on STOWAWAY that almost made me wanna die. i hope there’s time to fix it.

DavidK,
Thank you for this excellent mid-afternoon diversion. Favorite line:
“. . .
he demonstrates no singer makes the word ‘baby’ count for more.”Amen. And he’s not even talking about ‘Essence’ or ‘Right in Time’!

i beg to differ (as usual). lucinda’s best baby is from FRUITS OF MY LABOR.
