Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams

With more than forty years on the stage, Lucinda Williams is one of the icons of American country rock. With her latest album Good Souls Better Angels, the singer-guitarist returns to the gritty blues that inspired her as a young singer-songwriter and laid the foundation for her impressive career.

Three Grammy Awards, fourteen notable albums and countless awards including Time’s Songwriter of the Year in 2001: Lucinda Williams belongs in the ranks of the greats. She has been covered by Emmylou Harris, among others, and has performed alongside stars like Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson and John Prine.

On her latest album, she unbends all her devils. Literally, because her songs have an almost satanic power. Lucinda Williams sings openly about the dark forces that have a hold on today’s world. Hope is the only answer. She drew inspiration from the songs of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and – God himself – Nick Cave. Flanked by her longtime band members Stuart Mathis (guitar), David Sutton (bass) and Butch Norton (drums), the result is a charged record on which Lucinda Williams sounds more combative than ever.
