![]() ![]() Now, upon the occasion of her fourth album, she finally letting all of us see, and hear, who she truly is. It’s that I cared why she didn’t want anyone to know. It’s not that I cared what Lydia Loveless looked like. But even then in a slightly guarded manner.Īnd now Lydia Loveless is starring in a video where she’s in bed in her underwear, inviting the camera into her bedroom, not only symbolically but literally bearing herself to all, showing us who she is not just from confidence, but from not giving a fuck what anyone thinks about her anymore. Only her words and voice was she willing to share. And though at times she bore her effervescing moments of self-doubt and loathing fearlessly, and it resulted in some of her best work, and some of the most critically-accepted music in alt-country/Americana in recent years, she kept herself hidden. ![]() Lydia Loveless didn’t want us to know what Lydia Loveless truly looked like. But the other part had to do with the fact that she was hiding from all of us. Part of the reason I had such difficulty discerning who and what Lydia Loveless was had to do with the fact that she frequently changed her hair, dress, look, etc. What do I even mean that I didn’t know what she looked like? What does that have to do with her music? This may seem like a nominal point to make, or maybe even a shallow one or even somewhat creepy to say about someone who makes their living via audio emanations, and any visual component should be ancillary. I had seen plenty of promotional pictures of her, numerous videos of performances, and have even seen her live a number of times. I never really knew what Lydia Loveless looked like until the run up to the release of this album. ![]()
