Completely unscathed, Lucinda Williams did not reach her 70 birthday in January 2023. The queen of tormented country rock was struck by a brain hemorrhage in 2020.Since then, she has been unable to play the guitar. All the more striking that not only is she pictured with guitar on the cover, but the aptly titled Stories From A Rock N Roll Heart is also a rocking guitar album. Almost as if she's… picking up where she left off after You Are Cordially Invited..., her tribute to The Rolling Stones from 2022. Singer-songwriter Jesse Malin is her main writing partner, while Bruce Springsteen and his spouse Patti Scialfa chime in for some background vocals. But guitarists Stuart Mathis and Doug Pettibon in particular are given plenty of room to blaze raw and unpolished, which they do gratefully. Williams is in good voice on songs that sound optimistic and energetic while missing something of the distinctive tormented from her earlier work. She rarely came closer to a feel-good album like Stories From A Rock N Roll Heart. (MR)more
