PROBLEM: This is what happens when you ditch Steve Earle . Your music goes back to sucking.     Steve Earle didn't talk much about Car Wheels in his autobiography other than to say working with Lucinda was a real drag. Well, whatever. Obviously it produced incredible results and no matter how difficult she is they should look into working together again. Because frankly, w/o Earle, Lucinda Williams writes fairly boring songs and puts them to even more boring arrangements. And without Lucinda, Steve Earle does fairly generic country that is rarely worth a second listen. Together, they're awe inspiring.    Anyway, on to Essence: boring songs+boring arrangments+drugged-out singing=bad album. Trying to pimp the tracks up with production pixie dust doesn't fix the fundamental problem here: the songs are lame. In place of insight we get shopping lists, in place of hooks we get verse, verse, verse. And in place of emotion we get slurred vocals.     Such ingredients do not make for a good record.      as a side note, if you filter by "most helpful" you get reviewers who aren't 5-star fanboy clones and write intelligent reviews. Most of them were not fooled by this album, no matter how big a fan of Lucinda they are.    RstJ

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: NOT WHAT I  EXPECTED . I was thinking along the lines of the daughter father duo of Nat King Cole and  daughter. This was some what not up to what I was looking for. Skip it

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: A Hidden Gem . It seems that many want to place Kim Richey in a box and she just doesn't seem to fit in one.  Like Shawn Colvin, she is someone who just has her own category.  This is actually my favorite of all the Kim Richey I own, followed by "Bitter Sweet" and "Rise".  My favorite song on "Glimmer" is "Didn't I" and the title song is great as well.  Give this one a try and enjoy.

SOLUTION:
POS
