...y, aunque a estas alturas cabría pensar que lo que busco debería ser relativamente sencillo de encontrar, lo cierto es que no lo encuentro.
Busco la música que a Lucinda le gustaría hacer y escuchar, porque esa es la música que a mí me gusta. Pero tengo la sensación de que todo suena igual, salvo los tíos y tías que ya me gustan.
«I think in the world of rock music or whatever it’s called—anything
outside of Nashville—there’s a lot more freedom within that industry to
do whatever you want to do. Nashville tends to fall into this
cookie-cutter syndrome. All the records are trying to sound the same.
All the people coming to Nashville, who didn’t know anything about
country music, they’re all coming to town, saying, “Hey! I’m going to
write a country song! I’m going to jump on the bandwagon. There’s money
to be made here in this country-songwriting business.” And the artists
who were a little different and a little edgier—the industry didn’t
support them. They have a tendency not to support the music that sounds
like the older country stuff. I don’t know why that is.»

Lucinda Williams, entrevistada en The Believer
Busco y rebusco (Spotify, Facebooks varios, Allmusic, you name it), pero nada.
Sí, tantísimo tiempo desaparecido, sin escribir, y lo que vengo a soltar es mi mismo rollo de siempre.
Ea.
Ah, por cierto, escribir no escribo, pero lo que no dejo de hacer es abrirme más blogs.
Je.

Aún no los he escuchado todos, pero de momento puedo decir que con Bobbie Gentry has dado en el clavo. De hecho, fue fundamental para Lucinda, como explica en la entrevista a la que me refería:
It wasn’t until I discovered Bobbie Gentry—she was one of the first singers who had more of a low, raspy voice, and I really connected to that—and then when I discovered some of the blues singers like Memphis Minnie and some of the other Delta blues women singers, with their scratchy, different kind of voices, that I started finding other role models to identify with.
