A concert and interview with Louisiana born singer/songwriter LUCINDA WILLIAMS. Her influences have been Bob Dylan, Delta Blues man, Robert Johnson, Van Morrison, and writers Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty. In the late 70s she made two obscure folk albums. But she didn't really find her own voice until 1988 when she produced her own album ("Lucinda Williams," Rough Trade Records) of original songs. One reviewer wrote of the album,"such stunning directness. . . and unforced artistry that it exposed the bulk of that year's. . .pop music as embarrassingly bloated and hollow."
