On her latest album, 2020's 'Good Souls Better Angels,' Lucinda Williams takes on bullies who antagonize people on a global scale. The singer-songwriter plays Unity Temple tonight.
Lucinda Williams writes raw, visceral songs filled with beaten-down people liberating themselves from bullies. “I changed the name of this town / So you can’t follow me down,” she sings on “Changed the Locks,” from her 1988 self-titled album. Her new record,, takes on similar demons, though its antagonists don’t just pick on individuals but seek out victims on a global scale.
On, Williams sounds like a cowpunk roadhouse version of a singer-songwriter—more than four decades into her career, she’s more powerful than ever. Williams pushes her country-rock alto into the microphone on “Big Black Train” as she repeats “I don’t want to get on board,” as if to shut up anyone who wasn’t convinced.
