Just ask Lucinda Williams. The "Man" has been trying to compromise her sound ever since 1979 with <i>Ramblin' On My Mind</i> (a collection of old country and blues standards). Although the majors tried to coerce Williams to crank out over-produced hit singles for mass quantity consumption by Wal-Mart shoppers, she has stuck to her guns through all these years.
