Haven’t heard it yet, looking forward to it, though.

What’s up with everyone knocking her latest efforts?! I enjoy listening to West, think it’s a good album. Not mind blowing, but far, far from being passed off as too boring to bother with!

People!

I am liking this one a lot more than West and Little Honey. Definitely getting more of a listen than those two did anyway.

It's nice to hear some positive response to her new album.

This was another one I held off buying on my trip to the record store yesterday. I wanted to hear more of the album and more feedback before I bought it.

It looks like it's moving to the "to buy" list.

Thanks.

Glad to hear that she is doing better stuff. She seemed to be in a real downward spiral. I'll have to check it out.

Loved Essence.......after that not so much.....but yes this is a good one.

I'd like to second the thumbs up to Lucinda's new one. I was initially very hesitant to even give it a spin, as, to be honest, I've not really loved anything she's done since 'Car Wheels' (perhaps one of my all-time favorite records). But 'Blessed' is really a return to form in many ways. Anyone with doubts, do me a favor and listen to the following three tunes: 'Buttercup,' 'Seeing Black,' and 'Soldier's Song.' Really rockin' rockers and devastating ballads. Good stuff.

Roy Kasten of KDHX speaks highly of this. He's got some street cred.
and I enjoy his show so I'm inclined to nod my head in lazy agreement.
I haven't heard much of it, just what's been played and I think it's classic
Lucinda.

It does sound pretty good, probably a little better than the last one or two.

Ugh, she lost me after Essence. Don't need to have any more blues wailings from teh landlady in Kingpin.

Lucinda's new one is up on NPR's first listen..........sounds great!

Also an interview up on Aquarium Drunkard


Just saying
