Lucinda Williams - World's Gone Wrong (Blue Sky Vinyl)

Throughout her long career, Lucinda Williams has never shied away from writing about difficult but real things.

If you think about it, you could call "Change The Locks" a topical song ahead of its time. There were several biting and brave songs on her Good Souls Better Angels album, as well as the post-Covid masterpiece Stories From A Rock N Roll Heart. With World’s Gone Wrong, Lucinda ups the ante on topical songs.

It is a pure reflection of our very turbulent times, intense and musically powerful.
