Tonight I am just hanging out with my brother, quaffing some root beers, we talk about John Prine, listen to some of his album Tree of Forgiveness, and I say, “I wonder what Lucinda Williams is up to?” Turns out she released a new album yesterday! Listened to a sample of the first song, she’s still got it! Can’t wait to hear the rest. No customer reviews yet on Amazon, it is that new! > **[Lucinda Williams](https://www.lucindawilliams.com/)** > > New Album 'GOOD SOULS BETTER ANGELS' Out 04.24.20 | Official Website of Grammy Award Winning Artist Lucinda Williams. ---

Thanks for the reminder! I hadn’t seen that she has a new album, but went straight to [allmusic to read the review](https://www.allmusic.com/album/good-souls-better-angels-mw0003357520). It’s quite positive and makes me look forward to listening to the album, which I’ll do later today. ---

Lucinda’s last few albums have been awesome. I got to see her on the “Blessed” tour several years ago and it was one of my favorite shows in recent memory. I will definitely check out the new album, thanks for the heads up! ---

I’m already almost done listening, and it sounds great. Most songs have real punch and are the hardest rocking ones I know from her. The allmusic review criticized her singing on the album, but her kind of broken voice has always been her trademark and doesn’t sound different or weaker than on the albums I knew before, just the opposite, it sounds very strong here. ---
