Шаблон:Infobox album

Happy Woman Blues is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, released in 1980 by Smithsonian Folkways.

While her debut album, Ramblin' on My Mind (1979), consisted entirely of cover recordings, all of Happy Woman Blues was written solely by Williams.[1] She also produced the album, alongside Mickey White.[2] Supported by a six-member band, the songs are a mix of traditional and alternative country, folk, and blues that reflect her Louisiana roots.[3]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings

Happy Woman Blues was met with critical acclaim. Robert Christgau, writing for The Village Voice, gave the album an "A−", and called Williams a "guileless throwback to the days of the acoustic blues mamas" who "means what she says and says what she means".[1] Trouser Press felt the record was more "rock-oriented" than Williams' debut album, writing that she used timeworn ideas such as "smoke-stained bars, open roads and a heart that never learns" but reimagined them "in a way that is both contemporary and uncynical".[4]

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Kurt Wolff wrote that "King of Hearts", "Sharp Cutting Wings", and "Lafayette" are well composed, emotionally powerful classics on an album that was bold, refreshing, and "stunning for its mixture of blues, folk, and country traditions with [Williams'] captivating, complex, and visceral approach to writing and singing".[5]
