Lucinda Williams

Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove

Lucinda Williams’ music has gotten her through her darkest days. It’s been that way since growing up amid family chaos in the Deep South, as she recounts in her candid new memoir, Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I told You. Over the past two years, it’s been the force driving her recovery from a debilitating stroke she suffered on November 17, 2020, at age 67. Her masterful, multi-Grammy-winning songwriting has never deserted her. To wit, her stunning, sixteenth studio album, Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart, brims over with some of the best work of her career. And though Williams can no longer play her beloved guitar – a constant companion since age 12 – her distinctive vocals sound better than ever.

Lucinda Williams is “one of America’s greatest living songwriters,” as Rolling Stone says. As a singer, her voice is unmistakable: full of grit but sweetened with soul. Her Grammy Award-winning album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road is a certified classic of baleful country-adjacent rock and folk music, and in the decades since, she’s only refined her sound. She tangles with darkness, depression, and the lingering feeling that the world around us is unstable, but her work is tied together with a commitment to perseverance, resilience, and ultimately hope. Los Angeles musician Sam Burton presents songs from his new records that are reminiscent of Glen Campbell, Tim Buckley, and Gram Parsons.
