While I highly doubt that NPR will consider my pick for the 50 Greatest Voices… after writing my email nomi
nation, I figured I should at least post it here. by Annie Leibovitz
My vote went to Lucinda Williams.
She’s mostly known as a superb songwriter (which she is… TIME said she was the greatest living American songwriter), but her singing… it makes me speechless. And try seeing her live… it’ll bring you to tears.
Here’s a few of my favorites (in chronological order)… sorry there are so many, but it is incredibly hard to reduce her career into three or four songs.
***I must also mention that Emily (of bedazzling denim fame) is a bonafide Lucinda expert, so I expect her to have many more (and better) recommendations.

I can’t believe you didn’t include any tracks from the Lucinda Williams/Lucinda Williams album (my personal favorite). I would have to include Crescent City and Something About What Happens When We Talk. And, yes, you’ll be receiving ‘Cousin Emily’s Guide to Lucinda Williams vol. 1′ for Xmas.
