The American musical treasure known as Lucinda Williams has revealed plans to release her fourteenth studio album this spring. Entitled Good Souls Better Angels and due to land in stores April 24th courtesy of Highway 20/Thirty Tigers, the follow-up to 2017’s This Sweet Old World—a re-recording of Williams’ 1992 classic Sweet Old World—finds her tackling some of her most emotionally raw material to date, with her signature incisiveness well intact.
The album is preceded by the lead track “Man Without A Soul,” a not-so-subtle diatribe against the current US commander in chief, who she refers to as “a man without truth / A man of greed, a man of hate / A man of envy and doubt / You're a man without a soul.” Listen to the searing track below and mark April 24th in your calendars for the arrival of what will surely be one of the year’s most provocative and powerful records.
