Blessed by Lucinda Williams
Blessed is an album by Lucinda Williams, released in 2011. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Buttercup”, on 5 lists with a best position of #35.
Blessed, Lucinda Williams' tenth studio album, came out on March 1, 2011, and it finds the Americana veteran in a deep, reflective, open-hearted mood. Her weathered drawl leans into every line, and the band gives her room to stretch out, from slow-burning ballads to rough-edged rockers.
The title track and "Buttercup" were the songs radio latched onto, and they show both sides of her: the tender and the tough. "Kiss Like Your Kiss", first heard on the soundtrack of HBO's True Blood, landed her a Grammy nomination for visual media. The album itself entered the Billboard 200 at No. 15, drew strong reviews and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album.
