After releasing two traditional country blues albums in 1978 and 1980 and a more experimental and pop-oriented album in 1989, Louisiana-born singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams regrouped following the dissolution of the label to which she had been signed and released 1992's stunning SWEET OLD WORLD. While Williams' country blues roots are in evidence throughout the album, the folk and pop tendencies of its self-titled predecessor take over, making SWEET OLD WORLD a rootsy but accessible album perfect for the then-emergent Adult Album Alternative demographic.

Williams' songs range from the jangling folk rock of "Six Blocks Away" to the tender, downcast "Something About What Happens When We Talk." SWEET OLD WORLD shows a newfound musical and emotional broadening that coalesces in the quiet acoustic story song "He Never Got Enough Love," a sympathetic character study of emotional damage that's neither preachy nor mawkish, and in the heartfelt title track, one of Williams' very best songs.

Personnel: Lucinda Williams (vocals, guitar); Gurf Morlix (acoustic & electric guitars, pedal steel guitar, dobro, mandolin, background vocals); Duane Jarvis (electric guitar); Byron Berline (mandolin, fiddle); Doug Atwell (fiddle); Skip Edwards, Benmont Tench, William "Smitty" Smith (Hammond B-3 organ); Dr. John Ciambotti (acoustic & electric basses, background vocals); Donald Lindley (drums, percussion); Gia Ciambotti, Jim Lauderdale, Dusty Wakeman (background vocals).

Producers: Lucinda Williams, Gurf Morlix, Dusty Wakeman.

Rolling Stone (9/3/92, p.68) - 3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "...SWEET OLD WORLD will go a long way toward establishing Lucinda Williams as one of popular music's treasures. In her voice, we can hear the sound of desire itself..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/9/92, p.60) - "...A gifted singer-songwriter whose stark portraits of people on the edge are long on empathy and short on sentimentality..." - Rating: B+
Q (12/92, p.141) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...In a clear and soft voice, she plies us with tales of unequivocal simplicity, and above-average lyrics in a soft-rocking style that marries old partners Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris..."
Village Voice (3/2/93, p.5) - Ranked #11 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992.
Jazziz (Dec.-Jan./92, p.95) - Picked by critic Frank-John Hadley as one of the 10 best albums of 1992.
Stereo Review (12/92, p.94) - "...She delivers her searing lines without artificial sentiment or extraneous embellishment, just a wrenching directness that nourishes the spirit and knows no detour to the heart..."
Audio Magazine (12/92, p.154) - "...SWEET OLD WORLD shows Lucinda to be a riveting writer and performer whose apparent simplicity is merely the entranceway to a rewarding artist of depth..."
Reflex (12/15/92, p.76) - "...Lucinda Williams has a lazy lull to her voice, a slow poignant quiver that makes it just the one to sing to bar room romantics..."

The DVD portion of this release features a 5.1 surround sound mix, music videos, behind-the-scenes commentary, lyrics, and weblinks. This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. CYCLORAMA is the second studio album that Styx has made without former leader/singer/keyboardist Dennis DeYoung, with whom the group acrimoniously split a few years earlier. It's also the first to include DeYoung's replacement Lawrence Gowan, whose voice is in the same general ballpark as DeYoung's but never seems imitative. Longtime singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw is the dominant presence here, and his delivery of the ostensibly group-composed songs is full of energy and commitment. The songs themselves are not far from the material Styx tackled in their '70s glory days, minus the pomp-rock touches and with a bit more of an edge. That edge is ...

Times Like These
K C Clifford Times Like These CD  (2000)

Sweet Old World
CD $18.99
In a world full of imitations, K.C. Clifford is the real thing. The Oklahoma-born songstress continues winning over fans and critics alike. Her latest offering, "Pockets Full of Hope" was recorded live at The Blue Door in Oklahoma City in February 2008. The raw setting of voice and guitar renders an engagingly personal glimpse inside the mind and musings of this every-girl and her songs. 

Possessing a notable knack for writing songs that are all-at-once universal and yet deeply personal, K.C. is a meticulous lyricist. Each song is a story all its own, a conversation with her heart, with the life around her. In a world looking for substance, her songs answer back with a resounding hope and assurance that if you break it down, we as people are all very much the same. "K.C. is a beautiful woman inside and out. Her songs give hope when hope seems lost, give humor when the seriousness of life gets too heavy, and give words to feelings that many of us hold deep inside and can't seem to express. K.C. is from Oklahoma City, but she is far from just a local artist," writes Greg Johnson, owner of The Blue Door.Career highlights for K.C. include her Australian tour with Aussie sensations The Bluehouse, a tour she remembers as the trip of a lifetime. A two-time recipient of the Woody Guthrie Award, K.C. is honored to be associated with Oklahoma’s rich musical legacy and legendary songwriting heritage.K.C.’s collection of songwriting accolades continues to grow. In 2006 and 2007, the Kerrville Folk Festival chose her as a finalist in their New Folk songwriting competition. Other songwriting honors include: the Mountain Stage New Song Folk Festival's Songwriting Competition, the International Songwriting Competition, Billboard ...
