Additional Sweet Old World Information
|
Granted, Sweet Old World isn't the masterpiece that 1988's Lucinda Williams is. The too-simple explanations of "He Never Got Enough Love" aren't up to Williams's mile-high standards, and the arrangements throughout are often so similar to that previous release's that the melodic differences here aren't as clear as they might've been. But when she raises her vulnerable cry to sing the three, pained perspectives on suicide that are at the heart of this album--the title track, "Little Angel, Little Brother," and "Pineola"--Williams's very humanity provides its own proof that, while this world can indeed be cruel, it can also be oh so sweet. --David Cantwell

What Customers Say About Sweet Old World:

Any fan of Lucinda will not be disappointed. Not a bad song on the album. I was shocked to see hardly any reviews for Sweet Old World. This is one of her best albums and in my opinion just as good as Car Wheels on A Gravel Road.
This one is very mellow; soft, not as rocking as some of her other ones. She has a great voice. This is a fantastic CD, one of Lucinda's finest. I have all her CD's.
On the contrary. Sweet Old World is not a poor album. But many of the songs are just beautiful "traditional" tracks without the soul tearing spices of songs on album West.This was good but West is still the best. After listening Lucinda Williams' album West I became an instant fan and bought a couple of more CDs right away.Car Wheels on a Gravel Road was nearly as good as West but somehow Sweet Old World appeared to be a bit too easy peace from an artist with this kind of talent. Lucinda Williams can do better.Don't get me wrong.
Also check out "West" and "Car Wheels On a Gravel Road" What can I say.her voice is great.I can listen to this over and over.
I recommend this CD if you what a little bit of country mixed with the blues, and a little rock-n-roll woven in. You can't help but to start singing and moving your body. Lucinda Williams has that southern rock, southern bluesy twang to her voice and music. Some of the songs are funky, but all of them enjoyable.
