Lucinda Williams's Long, Rocky Road
By JIM FUSILLI
Minneapolis
It may be difficult for Lucinda Williams to top opening night of her
30th-anniversary tour, held Sept. 18 here. She married her manager,
Tom Overby, at the show's end. And, before the nuptials, her band,
Buick 6, was a raging fire, a reincarnation of the "Let It Bleed"-era
Stones. Ms. Williams and Buick 6 played songs from each of her albums,
as well as unreleased material and covers. The tour runs at least
through mid-October and likely into 2010. (Check www.lucindawilliams.com
for updates.)
Only in hindsight does it seem as if Ms. Williams's career was a smooth,
ever-climbing journey toward excellence and acclaim. Now 56 years old,
she will tell you she faced a fair share of roadblocks in her three
decades in the music business. She bounced from label to label, often at
odds with their management; at one record company, she mentioned to a man
responsible for her development that she loved "Blonde on Blonde." He
didn't know it was a Bob Dylan album. "He goes, 'Is that a band?'" she
told me shortly before the gig here. "His credibility went right out the
window."
