Essence»rank: 6063by: Lucinda Williams
: :\N 's Best of 2001:Few artists in recent memory have been able to wring more from less than Lucinda Williams. The hauntingly beautiful, wistful, and often breathtaking Essence is another case in point of how far raw emotion and honesty can carry an artist.

Throughout, her voice is incredibly naked, vulnerable, ... |

Luther Vandross: Greatest Hits»rank: 3661by: Luther Vandross
