World's Gone Wrong - Ain't that the truth?
Fortunately we are still blessed to have Lucinda Williams to put her view on things.
World's Gone Wrong is her 16th studio album and was released towards the end of January (23rd to be precise) on her own Highway 20 label.Like the rest of us she is dispairing at the state of things but being Lucinda she is willing to share her tuppence worth.
Jim Beaugez in the Oxford American writes World’s Gone Wrong articulates the anger, hope, and inspiration she’s carried since the protests of her youth, with songs that explore the struggles of race, poverty, and trauma that continue to shadow America today."
John Amen of Beats Per Minute writes that Lucinda "examines the 'dark age' we’re currently traversing but refuses to surrender to despair".
The world would surely be a better and safer place were Lucinda occupying the Oval Office (with Mavis as Vice President). There would be no cage fighting on the lawn, that's for sure.
