Hmm “Yes, it’s important” you are the grammar police now? It is an easy enough mistake to make but in fact NOBODY should use contractions when writing. That’s the true grammar rule. Contractions are for speaking purposes.

That means

but doesn’t work on it’s own

is incorrect. Please file and use this important grammatical insight.

Grammar help for the reviewer:

Brody, seems Pitchfork is in our camp on this one.

Lucinda Williams is a brilliant songwriter but fairly mediocre singer. I’ve several of her CDs, and frankly, rarely listen to them, as the cover versions of her songs are always better than her original versions

Yeah, I think if I had first been exposed to her through an album, I’d have to agree. But I saw her in concert before I heard an album, and I was hooked. She really makes you feel the passion/pain of her songs.

To me, Lucinda Williams has always been an artist that I know I should like but just don’t. It’s the kind of music that you listen to and your mind is saying “this is good” but it just doesn’t excite you. I haven’t heard this album, but suspect it’s more of the same.

I’ve heard she’s wonderful in concert before and I’ve heard that her previous three albums were unbelievably good. Maybe I had heard too much hype leading up to this album and I had set myself up for disappointment.

I’ll definitely be going back and checking out her previous stuff, just for comparisons sake.

Oooh, sorry to hear this. I love to see her in Concert; she’s worth going early and fighting the crowds to be up front and watch her. This is on my “gonna get it” list, I’ve been looking forward to this album. Now, I will listen before I buy, and maybe buy a couple songs for my ipod and not get the whole cd. I have some bootlegs I made at the Boulder theater of her shows, and they are so good, I’ll just enjoy those! Her live stuff is so good.
