2020 . Three-time Grammy Award winner Lucinda Williams unabashedly takes on some of the human, social and political issues of our day with her boldest and most direct album to date, Good Souls Better Angels. During the course of her celebrated four-decade, pioneering career Williams has never rested on her laurels as she continues to push herself as a songwriter. On Good Souls Better Angels, she has much she needs to get out. On Good Souls Better Angels, Williams changes course and chooses to forgo the personal and narrative-based songcraft that has become synonymous with her name and instead speaks to some of the injustices permeating our society. Williams recorded Good Souls Better Angels backed by her remarkable, long time band, featuring Butch Norton (drums), Stuart Mathis (guitar) and David Sutton (bass). The rock-solid unit propels the music with both fire and finesse. Good Souls Better Angels marks the first time Williams' husband/manager Tom Overby is credited as a co-writer on many of the new songs. The album was co-produced by Williams, Overby and Ray Kennedy, who last worked with Williams on her 1998 landmark album Car Wheels On A Gravel Road. Album Tracks 1. You Can't Rule Me 2. Bad News Blues 3. Man Without a Soul 4. Big Black Train 5. Wakin' Up [Explicit] 6. Pray the Devil Back to Hell 7. Shadows & Doubts 8. When the Way Gets Dark 9. Bone of Contention 10. Down Past the Bottom 11. Big Rotator 12. Good Souls

DOWN WHERE THE SPIRIT MEETS THE BONE is the first album in 4 years from the 3-time Grammy Award winning musician and features 20 new songs, with 18 written solely by Williams. As expected from Williams, there are poignant intimate moments that cut to the core as well as some of the fullest arrangements Williams has recorded. Williams challenges herself vocally throughout the album, exploring new dynamics with her instrument and even incorporating improvisational elements to some of her songs. There are extended performances by an incredible list of guests that include guitarists Bill Frisell, Tony Joe White & Stuart Marthis, keyboardist Ian McLagan (Faces) as well as Elvis Costello's famed rhythm section of Pete Thomas (drums) and Davey Faragaher (bass). Jakob Dylan adds harmony vocals on the beautiful 'It's Gonna Rain', while Williams' longtime rhythm section of Butch Norton (drums) and David Sutton (bass) make significant contributions. At 61, Williams is in the middle of the most prolific point of her career, with no signs of slowing down. After 10 acclaimed studio albums, she is still evolving and pushing forward creatively. She refuses to rest on her laurels. Then again, the best artists never do. Album Tracks 1. Compassion 2. Protection 3. Burning Bridges 4. East Side of Town 5. West Memphis 6. Cold Day in Hell 7.
