Little Honey is the ninth studio album by Lucinda Williams, released October 14, 2008, on Lost Highway. It blends Americana, folk rock, alternative country and heartland rock, and runs 64 minutes. The album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, selling about 35,000 copies in its first week, Williams’ first Top 10. It earned a Grammy nomination in 2010 for Best Americana Album.
