Lucinda Williams has announced a new album titled Good Souls Better Angels, due out April 24.
According to a press release, this will be Williams "boldest and most direct album to date." "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," read the release.
This album is Williams first since 2015's critically acclaimed double LP The Ghosts Of Highway 20. Good Souls Better Angels was recording along with Williams' longtime backing band, consisting of Butch Norton on drums, Stuart Mathis on guitar and Dave Sutton on Bass.
Ahead of the album's release, Williams premiered a single from the album - the politically pointed "Man Without A Soul" - via Rolling Stone. (Listen to the single here.) She played the song live this past December at an intimate performance in New York City. Check out a fan-shot video of that performance below (via YouTube user mikewilliams)!
