Lucinda Williams Announces New Album Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road For December 2024 Release

Nashville Grammy Award winning artists Lucinda Williams has announced the December 6^th release of Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road. Recorded at The Beatles’ legendary studio in London, the new collection serves as Vol. 7 of her celebrated Lu’s Jukebox series and is the first new volume in almost four years.

The album features 12 Beatles songs that include classic hits such as “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “With A Little Help From My Friends” and “Something”. Williams and her band also take on beloved deeper tracks such as “I’m So Tired”, “I’ve Got A Feeling” and “Yer Blues”. For Williams who was raised on Blues in the South, the latter is a song Williams was clearly meant to sing. But perhaps the standout track of this album is her rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, due its emotional depth and bluesy interpretation, reflecting Williams Southern roots.

While many great artists have recorded in the famous Abbey Road Studios, Williams is the first major artist to actually record Beatles’ songs there – aside from the Fab Four themselves. For Williams herself, Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road is an inspirational example of an artists who, at 71 years old and following a stroke in 2020, continues to write, perform and find new ways to fuel her creative fire.
