Young songwriters Williams admires
Lucinda Williams is one of the most respected songwriters in the game. And so we wanted to ask her what young songwriters we should be listening to.
Williams gave us three names — two of whom sing in the same band. So here are three Williams-recommended songwriters to check out.
Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist, the two principal songwriters in Over the Rhine:
“I really like the husband-and-wife team of Over the Rhine. They’ve been around for a while, but a lot of people don’t know about them. And they should because they’re really great.”
Sarah Jaffe:
“I recently discovered Sarah, and I have her new CD with me on the road. I think she’s from Denton, Texas, and she’s just brilliant. She’s great. I love this last album.” Ricardo Baca
