The Outlaw

Of course not all of her songs are tearjerkers. “I get tired of people looking at my songs and feeling that they’re all sad and dark,” says Lucinda. “There’s more to them than that. Some people might read Flannery O’Connor and see that as simply dark, and it is dark and disturbing, but there’s a philosophical aspect, even a comical aspect to it as well.”

So, while patiently awaiting the October release of Little Honey, Lucinda’s latest for Lost Highway (also Willie’s label), it might be time to read O’Connor’s book, Wise Blood. And let’s hope we hear some of those new songs next Wednesday.
