Lucinda Williams is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, released in 1988, by Rough Trade Records.

An alternative country and roots rock record about the complexities of romantic relationships, Lucinda Williams was met with widespread critical acclaim upon release and has since been viewed as a leading work in the development of the Americana movement. The album was produced by Williams, with Dusty Wakeman and Gurf Morlix, and features the first appearance of "Passionate Kisses", a song later recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter for her album Come On Come On (1992), which garnered Williams her first Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1994.[1]
