Lucinda Williams is writing a memoir, says she has a "big story to tell" 

Lucinda Williams, one of our greatest living songwriters and a master of the story-song format, is now preparing to tell her own story. Williams has announced that she’s writing her autobiography, The New York Times reports, a book that will cover Williams’ Louisiana childhood, her youth as a busker on the streets of New Orleans, her rise to musical prominence at the age of 35—that was in 1988; Williams is now 65—and her struggle to gain respect in the music industry, a topic that will presumably touch upon her infamously perfectionist songwriting process.
