Stories From a Rock n Roll Heart by Lucinda Williams

Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart, Lucinda Williams' 15th studio album, came out on June 30, 2023, on Highway 20 Records with Thirty Tigers handling distribution, and the title reads like a mission statement from a songwriter who has spent decades welding rock, blues and country into one ragged sound that could only be hers.

She announced it in April alongside the lead single "New York Comeback", which came with company: Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa singing backup, giving the chorus a big, communal lift. "Stolen Moments" and "Where the Song Will Find Me" followed as singles before the album landed. Williams, once named America's best songwriter by Time, sings them in that worn, unhurried drawl, every line sounding lived in, and the guitars keep the whole thing rough around the edges, just the way the title promises.
