Good Souls Better Angels

Lucinda Williams

A heavy, distorted blues-rock sermon. Recorded live in the studio, it captures a legendary voice at its most confrontational, gritty, and righteously exhausted.

A relentless, confrontational energy tempered by moments of exhausted spiritual seeking.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jagged, distorted guitar riff that opens You Can’t Rule Me, setting a confrontational tone immediately.
The slow-burn intensity of Man Without a Soul where the vocals sound like they are being squeezed through a vice.
The seven-minute closing prayer of Good Souls where the grit finally gives way to a shimmering, desperate grace.
