Sweet, tender, pain, love and loss

"The first time I can recall knowing about Lucinda was on a tribute to Gram Parsons show with the some of the best and well-known alternative country singers. I didn't pay much attention then and I knew of her as one who was in that crowd.



I have so enjoyed this CD, I love her raspy voice, the lyrics filled with hurt, pain, loneliness, wonderment, sex, love and loss. Listening to this is like having her for a morning of conversation, telling you what is going on lately and with beautiful musical melody. Especially with Fancy Funeral, which I believe she had just lost her mother. There is a sweet tribute to her mother called Mama You Sweet.



One of my favorites is Are You Alright? It's the craziness of love, when someone walks out on you, with no explanation, nothing.



Listening to this is also like one long song, beautiful arrangements, sexy voice, and pleasing musical sounds. It's about the lyrics, her message, the tone.....Rizzo
