Nashville legend and Grammy Award-winning artist Lucinda Williams is set to release Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road on December 6, 2024. This highly anticipated collection marks the latest volume in her Lu’s Jukebox series and comes nearly four years after her last installment. The album, recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, brings a fresh, bluesy interpretation to 12 Beatles classics, including fan favorites like “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” and “Something.”
Williams, renowned for her soulful voice and roots in Southern Blues, also dives deep into lesser-known Beatles gems like “I’m So Tired,” “Yer Blues,” and “I’ve Got A Feeling.” One of the standout tracks is her emotionally charged rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” which showcases her signature raw emotion and blues-infused style.
The project holds special significance as Williams, who suffered a stroke in 2020, continues to redefine her artistry at 71. Her creative resurgence and this bold tribute to The Beatles prove her enduring talent and passion for music. The release, via Highway 20 Records, promises to be an extraordinary blend of classic rock and southern soul, giving fans a unique listening experience.
Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road is a must-listen for Beatles enthusiasts and Williams’ loyal followers alike.
