Following the news of Lucinda Williams’ brand-new album “Good Souls Better Angels” (out 24^th April 2020), she has announced a headline show at Vicar Street this August.

It’s all come full circle,” says Lucinda Williams of her new album, ‘Good Souls Better Angels’. The pioneering, Louisiana-born artist has returned to the gritty blues foundation that first inspired her in the late 1970s. ‘Good Souls Better Angels’ – is the most topical album of Williams’ career. “The devil comes into play quite a bit on this album,” Williams says. “I’ve always loved the imagery in Robert Johnson songs and those really dark Delta blues that are sort of biblical. I was inspired by Leonard Cohen – he dealt with that in his songs – and Bob Dylan and Nick Cave.” 

“Because of all this crap that’s going on, it’s on the top of everybody’s minds – it’s all anybody talks about: Basically, the world’s falling apart – it’s like the apocalypse. That’s where that Old Testament stuff comes from. It’s different from my other albums in that there aren’t the story songs about my childhood and all. It feels exciting.”

Lucinda Williams Vicar Street, 14^th August 2020. Tickets €55.00 on sale this Friday, 21^st February at 9AM
