During the\ncourse of her celebrated four-decade, pioneering career Williams has never\nrested on her laurels as she continues to push herself as a songwriter. On\nGood Souls Better Angels, she has much she needs to get out. In 2014 and 2015,\nWilliams released two critically acclaimed double albums back to back with\nDown Where The Spirit Meets The Bone and The Ghosts Of Highway 20,\nrespectively. Both releases found her experimenting with arrangements, vocals,\nsong structure and personal subject matter. On Good Souls Better Angels,\nWilliams changes course and chooses to forgo the personal and narrative-based\nsongcraft that has become synonymous with her name and instead speaks to some\nof the injustices permeating our society. The new songs cut straight to the\ncore with frank and honest commentary on domestic abuse (\"Wakin' Up\"), the\nconstant barrage of news (\"Bad News Blues\") the dangerous, quick to judge and\nconvict aspects of social media (\"Shadows \u0026amp; Doubts\") and the haunting reality\nof the \"Man Without A Soul\". Williams recorded Good Souls Better Angels backed\nby her remarkable, long time band, featuring Butch Norton (drums), Stuart\nMathis (guitar) and David Sutton (bass). The rock-solid unit propels the music\nwith both fire and finesse, particularly on the raw blues number \"You Can't\nRule Me\", which kicks off the album with equal parts attitude and swing. Good\nSouls Better Angels also features some of Williams' most intimate and up front\nvocals on record. She addresses the pain of depression on the achingly\nbeautiful \"Big Black Train\" and tenderly delivers a poignant song of hope with\n\"When The Way Gets Dark\". She encourages us to push forward on the path of\npromise and perseverance on the deeply soulful and moving album closer \"Good\nSouls\". Good Souls Better Angels marks the first time Williams'\nhusband\/manager Tom Overby is credited as a co-writer on many of the new\nsongs. The album was co-produced by Williams, Overby and Ray Kennedy, who last\nworked with Williams on her 1998 landmark album Car Wheels On A Gravel Road.\nThe table styler app is great to layout website sections on the page!\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\n\n","published_at":"2021-08-19T16:57:51+10:00","created_at":"2021-08-19T16:57:51+10:00","vendor":"NA","type":"Today's Country","tags":["cocoon"],"price":11900,"price_min":11900,"price_max":11900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40891905409179,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B0851LYF4V","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Good Souls Better Angels","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":11900,"weight":50,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/leoforward.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B0851LYF4V.jpg?v=1651357341"],"featured_image":"\/\/leoforward.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B0851LYF4V.jpg?v=1651357341","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Good Souls Better Angels - LeoForward Australia","id":29660229140717,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/leoforward.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B0851LYF4V.jpg?v=1651357341"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/leoforward.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B0851LYF4V.jpg?v=1651357341","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eGood Souls Better Angels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eOn April 24th, three-time Grammy Award winner Lucinda Williams unabashedly\ntakes on some of the human, social and political issues of our day with her\nboldest and most direct album to date, Good Souls Better Angels.
