Singer/songwriter (and literary-Americana progenitor) Lucinda Williams returned to the Orange Peel last night. She’s currently on tour in support of Blessed, her 10th album which is being hailed by critics as some of her best work since her ‘98 Grammy-winning Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Of the new record, Spin writes, “Blessed feels more like a country-blues toast to the pissed-off side of interpersonal relations, set to coproducer Don Was’ sturdy barroom roots rock.”

Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Rockin’ at 58. Works for me.

Great show Lucinda … you just get better with age!
