Victoria Williams is a singer/songwriter whose vivid words and melodies can paint an unforgettable picture even upon first listening. Now, driving that point home even more forcefully is "LOOSE" - the first album of Victoria's Mammoth/Atlantic recording career.
While Victoria's talents were vividly documented on 1987's 'Happy Come Home' and 1990's 'Swing The Statue' - ironically, the work that served as her initial introduction to many listeners barely featured the Louisiana-born artist at all. Last year's 'Sweet Relief: A Benefit For Victoria Williams' was a career summation any artist would deeply envy: singing many of Williams's finest songs were more than a dozen of rock's most respected performers, including Pearl Jam (with whom she also played and sang), Lou Reed, Soul Asylum, the Waterboys and Matthew Sweet.
Sweet Relief offered Victoria's visionary songwriting; "LOOSE" offers that and, no less important, Williams herself singing and performing her own material. The picture the album paints is of a woman very much in her creative prime.
