iTunes Review
The basic tracks cut live with her road band at the '20's Paramour Estate in Silver Lake, California with Dylan's engineer Mark Howard, World Without Tears stands as Lucinda Williams' most confrontational and immediate work. A notoriously neurotic control freak, Williams still manages tight reign on the raw emotional material in her songwriting, but her performances here are straight from the gut. How else can an album half built with ballads resound with such visceral impact? From the opening, lonesome whine of "Fruits of My Labor" to the angry loneliness at the heart of "Those Three Days," Williams uses her silence as effectively as the bluesy guitar and vocal slur that lights up the raging heart of "Atonement." Love is the drug and its addictive, insidious nature works on Williams' psyche at every chord change. She opens up with compassion one moment ("Sweet Side") only to be punched in the heart with the next tour of heartbreak ("Minneapolis"). This is an incredibly poignant, emotionally difficult album worthy of the best country, rock, and blues that it embraces.

Disappointment
by MrJerseyMannI loved Car Wheels and hated this album. The songs are real downbeat and have no rythym.
Lucinda Rules!!
by rayngerCountryBluesRockandRoll! She out "Rolling Stones" the Rolling Stones on Bleeding Fingers, and the gueetar on Righteously is like a cat in heat howling. A very sexy song for both men and women. Great lyrics simple, scathing, tough, sad, and sweet. Lucinda's an American treasure. She NEVER fails to please on every_single_album. This one is no exception. 'cinda Rules!
Sounds like the best of Country Soul.
