I have been a Lucinda fan for many years and have been increasingly intrigued by the depth of her lyrics. Blessed is a perfect continuation of her storybook revealing life and love at its core. These lyrics ride waves of straight forward rock to the twangy ballads that are so familiar to Lucinda's fans. It is a collection thoughtfully arranged and heartfully written from a woman who is in her words " as real as they get " . My advise, light some candles, poor a glass of wine and enjoy this fine work from one of American music's living legends.
