[ Highway 20 / Thirty Tigers / LP ]
Release Date: Friday 6 December 2024
Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road 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. Being raised on the blues in the South, the latter is a song Williams was clearly meant to sing. 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.
While many great artists have recorded in the hallowed Abbey Road Studios, as it turns out, Williams is the first major artist to actually record Beatles' songs there aside from the Fab Four themselves.
As an acclaimed, award-winning singer/songwriter for more than four decades, Williams' music has been highly influential and covered by a multitude of artists. Williams is also an extraordinary interpreter who, like all great interpreters, has the ability to inhabit a song and make it her own. She does just that throughout this selection of Beatles tracks, as she has done on each Lu's Jukebox volume.
