Lucinda Williams: A Full Insight into her Life
Lucinda Gayl Williams, born on the 26th February 1953, in Lake Charles, Louisiana USA, is a Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter known for hits like “Passionate Kisses” and “Can’t Let Go”. She has released music in diverse genres, including blues, country, and rock, with a total of 14 albums.
Lucinda Williams’ net worth, estimated at $15 million in late 2017, stems from her flourishing music career that began in the late ’70s.
Early Life and Rise to Fame
Lucinda is the daughter of Miller Williams, a poet and literature professor, and Lucille Fern Day, a pianist. Lucinda’s creative inclinations appeared early as she started writing songs at six and playing the guitar at 12. She made her live debut at 17 alongside Clark Jones, a banjo player. By her early 20s, she gained recognition in Austin and Houston as a folk-rock-country artist. Her career took off when she signed with Smithsonian/Folkways Records, releasing her debut studio album “Ramblin’ on My Mind” (1978), followed by “Happy Woman Blues”, her second album, two years later. Despite these initial efforts not gaining commercial success, she moved to Los Angeles and then Nashville, where she built a fan base and landed her breakthrough with her self-titled third album after eight years. The single “Changed the Locks” from this album gained considerable popularity and was later covered by Tom Petty.
In 1992, the release of “Sweet Old World” earned positive reviews though not much commercial success. However, it was her 1998 album “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road” that reshaped her career, earning her a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album and achieving gold status in the USA. The album’s success significantly boosted her net worth.
Continuing her musical journey, Lucinda released albums at intervals, including “Essence” in 2001, which won her a Grammy for the single “Get Right with God”. Her album “World Without Tears” reached No. 18 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2003. She also collaborated with various musicians during this time such as Flogging Molly, Elvis Costello, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. Her ninth studio album “Little Honey” released in 2008, received positive critiques and a Grammy Award nomination, becoming her highest-charting album, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart. Subsequent albums like “Blessed” and “The Ghosts of Highway 20” were also well-received, further adding to her financial success.
On the personal front, Lucinda has been married to Tom Overby since 2009, following her previous marriage to Greg Sowders. She gained further recognition when the mayor of Santa Cruz announced a day in her honor in 2008, known as Lucinda Williams Day.
