Lucinda Williams’ latest display of her thoughtful, country-blues charm leads this week’s crop of new reviews. “‘Is your death wish stronger than you are?’ Lucinda Williams asks in ‘Little Rock Star,’ a cautionary song swathed in guitar noise that someone should instant-message to Pete Doherty, Ryan Adams and Amy Winehouse. While it shows that the 55-year-old barbed-wire country singer is wary of rock’s trappings, Little Honey proves she’s still crushed out on the music,” writes Will Hermes.
