  • Description

    Unparalleled originality and passion have earned Williams due recognition as a writer and singer. This extraordinary album, recorded in 1978, deserves its status as a singer/songwriter classic. Songs include Lafayette, I Lost It, and Happy Woman Blues. "...[M]erely wonderful..." - Rolling Stone "...merely wonderful..." - Rolling Stone

    Description

    Lucinda Williams, whose musical style defies easy categorization, recorded her first album of original songs in 1980, supported by a six-member band. Her songs are a mix of traditional and alternative country, folk, and blues that reflect her Louisiana roots. The Village Voice music critic Robert Christgau gave Happy Woman Blues an "A"013" and described Williams as a "guileless throwback to the days of the acoustic blues mamas" who "means what she says and says what she means." The vinyl reissue of Happy Woman Blues, which includes a liner notes booklet with the song lyrics, is part of the Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums in our collection.
