57.
Lucinda Williams was born January 26th 1953 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the daughter of poet and literature professor, Miller Williams
Not that well known in this country but her contribution to the popular song should not go unnoticed. With Grammy awards over the years in both folk, country and rock genres as well as numerous other nominations, there cannot be another artist in recent years that has covered such breadth of popular music, Although Joni has won nine Grammys, they only have been for folk and pop.
Whilst Ella Fitzgerald put sex into the American Songbook, Lucinda Williams put real sex, real bitterness, real life into the songs of the late 19 hundreds and early 2 thousands.
Happy Birthday!
