Lucinda Williams Adamant Happiness Won’t Harm Her Music

Lucinda Williams insists she’ll still be able to write songs now that she’s happy.

The singer-songwriter, who married music executive Tom Overby in 2009, is adamant her new-found happiness won’t affect her music.

Williams said, people buy into this myth that once you’re quote happy unquote you just die as an artist. That’s inane. It’s ridiculous.

People have actually asked me, Well, will you still be able to write now that your life is happy? That’s a somewhat pedantic point of view, the myth that happiness can’t be part of the backbone of creativity.

Williams, who’s set to play 10 solo dates at Mercyhurst College, also revealed her acoustic tour came about by happenstance.

She said, it’s unusual for me to play solo. It ended up being a real positive experience. Just for a change of pace.

This is an experiment. We had so much fun at that venue at Fayetteville, and there are so many other cool venues like that.
