Lucinda Williams Little Honey

4 stars out of 5 -- "While it shows that the 55-year-old barbed-wire country singer is wary of rock's trappings, LITTLE HONEY proves she's still crushed out on the music."
Ranked #18 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[With] snarling Stones-ish guitars, brisk tempos and a slew of funny punch lines."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Williams goes back to the roots-rock well and takes a long, satisfying swig....What unites the songs is the restored hope in Williams' singing..."
Ranked #30 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "After 30 years of weepers and heartbreakers, Williams proves she can also sing he-done-me-right songs."
"She sounds happier than she has in years, singing mostly about domestic contentment with an audible grin."

3 stars out of 5 -- "Country and rock meet the blues and Williams certainly seems to enjoy creating a kind of aural miniguide to all that is Americana."
