Three-time Grammy Award winner Lucinda Williams is one of America’s greatest living songwriters. Her career has spanned decades and she’s blessed her audience with a brilliant blend of rock, country, blues and Americana. As a rule, you can divide music into three categories – the kind that aims for the head, the kind that aims for the heart and the kind that aims for the hips. Forging two of those connections at once is pretty impressive, but connecting on all three? That’s a rare accomplishment indeed, one that Lucinda Williams manages on her 11th studio album, Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone. Over the course of this double album, Williams leaves no emotional crevice left unexplored, drinking deeply from a well of inspiration that culminates with an offering that overflows with delta-infused country soul. “I didn’t set out to do a whole album of country-soul, but once I started working, a stylistic thread kind of emerged,” says Williams. “It’s a sound I can relate to, one that’s really immediate and really timeless at the same time – kind of sad in an indefinable way.” There’s no disputing the immediacy of the set’s offerings, both the most hard-edged (like “West Memphis,” which extrapolates a hardscrabble landscape from the story of the wrongly-convicted West Memphis Three) and the softly caressing (the bittersweet “When I Look at the World”). As ever, she uses words to ensnare her audience, sometimes with an arm around the shoulder, sometimes with hands grabbing the lapels, and sonics to hold that crowd’s rapt attention. The Olympia Film Society is thrilled to welcome LUCINDA WILLIAMS to the Capitol Theater!
