Will Hermes. With blowsy, parched vocals, languorous tempos, straggly melodies and flyaway guitar lines, Lucinda Williams 12th album feels a little like an alt-country picture of Dorian Gray. You could also call it a portrait of the artist as an older woman: time-scarred, unapologetic, but still potent. Yeah, its literary yeah, its the polar opposite of cosmetic-surgery pop. As such, its not for everyone.

Definitely a masterpiece. SPIN Rating: 8 of 10 Release Date: February 05, 2016 Label: Highway 20, Thirty Tigers. Give Lucinda Williams new album The Ghosts of Highway 20 even a cursory listen and its quickly apparent the veteran songwriter has death on her mind.
