Talk:Lucinda Williams

Recent Work

this section states: Playing five nights in each city, it was the first time a major artist would perform her entire catalog on consecutive nights. These albums include the self titled Lucinda Williams, Sweet Old World, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, Essence, and World Without Tears. Since these shows, other artists have imitated this idea in different variations, but to date no else has accomplished this exact feat.

This year, My Morning Jacket is playing each of their five albums in five consecutive nights in New York city, so it will no longer be true that Williams is the only major artist to accomplish this feat! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Its26 (talk • contribs) 05:49, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Bowdlerization

What was the change that was made in "Passionate Kisses" to produce the version that Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded? Just saying that it was bowdlerized leaves the reader up in the air. JamesMLane 12:16, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

i agree. i think both versions had the same lyrics. somebody finally changed it and removed bowdlerized so its all good now.--Alhutch 23:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Jackson

I removed

though clearly she will.

bcz it's OR and not that clear to me, and

It seems probable that the title city is Jackson, Louisiana, given that many of the songs on the album are clearly located in Louisiana, as are the other two cities mentioned in the song (Lafayette and Baton Rouge). It is conceivable, however, that it might be Jackson, Mississippi.

bcz it's even more OR, and probably wrong:

1. per a Lafayette-to-Vicksburg(-or-Jackson, Miss) route, the directions show detouring from and back to US 61 in order to include Jackson, LA, and the Jackson-area zoom-in shows that detour to be over minor roads
2. Jackson, Louisiana has 4k population, compared to Lafayette, LA 110k, Vicksburg 26k, Baton Rouge 400k, (and Jackson, MS 180k)
3. the sequence in the song is
   1. Jackson
   2. Lafayette
   3. Baton Rouge
   4. Jackson
   5. (Break)
   6. Vicksburg
   7. Jackson

   which suits the route

   • somewhere W of Lafayette, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Vicksburg, Jackson (MS) (with the destination emphasized over the intermediate landmarks, by being mentioned first and last in the first section, and last in the second)

   but suggests no comparable logic for Jackson, LA

4. The unique phrasing "All the way to Jackson, and use of Jackson as the title, also suggest that Jackson is the final destination (even tho Jackson, LA lies between Baton Rouge and Vicksburg).

But the question, in both cases, is not what she meant, but whether what she meant (or what people think she meant) is part of established knowledge. --Jerzy•t 09:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Removed this section from this article. As to your comment: nothing is "destroyed", the information is always available in the history if you or anyone else wants to transfer it into a song article. Having said that, I don't find personally find anything useful or encyclopedic about this section as it was; the author(s) seem to be engaging in some speculative lyrics interpretation, to what point I'm not sure. I am sure that it doesn't belong in this biographic article. If you disagree please respond here with your reasoning for keeping this type of information in this level of article.

Intro to short

Regarding the maintenance tag, is the intro still "to short"? What sections of the article body, if any, are not summarized in the lead? Hyacinth (talk) 23:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced

Regarding the maintenance tag, what remains unsourced and potentially libelous? Hyacinth (talk) 23:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Sound clips

Someone kindly began to add a clip of Williams' music, next to the discography section (?!) --it has some tweaking needed; can someone help? I am not versed in sound bites. Thanks.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 20:25, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I removed file per WP:NFC#8 because the sound file currently illustrates nothing (otherwise blank section) and its omission would not detrimental to understanding Lucinda Williams. Hekerui (talk) 09:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Drinking Removed?

Curious that nothing in the personal section mentions what apparently most of her fans will sadly confirm: that on numerous occasions she has gone up on stage quite visibly under the influence and is well known to have a problem with alcohol. Removed or just never sourced properly? 76.95.33.253 (talk) 22:12, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Removing photographer name from infobox photo

I removed the name of the photographer from the caption of the infobox photo to conform with the general WP practice of not including that information unless the photographer is noteworthy enough to have his or her own WP article:

Unless relevant to the subject, do not credit the image author or copyright holder in the article. It is assumed that this is not necessary to fulfill attribution requirements of the GFDL or Creative Commons licenses as long as the appropriate credit is on the image description page. If the artist or photographer is independently notable, though, then a wikilink to the artist's biography may be appropriate.

Something to mention

Hi, should this not be stated? Lucinda Williams is the main reason as to why American author Lauren Kate named her lead character Lucinda. I think it would be worth mentioning but it's up to you guys! :) HanaGoth96 ^{(main page)} 18:26, 15 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by HanaGoth96 (talk • contribs)
