Lucinda Williams is tackling social and political issues in her upcoming album, Good Souls, Better Angels (2020). The first track released off the album is the song “Man Without a Soul.”
From the title, one may correctly surmise that the song is about the current occupant of the White House. In the song, she warns the president that somehow it will all come to an end. Williams sings, “You bring nothing good to this world, beyond a web of cheating and stealing/ You hide behind your wall of lies, but it’s coming down/ Yeah, it’s coming down.”
You may hear the track at Rolling Stone or check out a live performance of “Man Without a Soul” below.
Williams and her husband Tom Overby produced the album with Ray Kennedy. Good Souls, Better Angels will hit the Internet on April 24, 2020 through Highway 20/Thirty Tigers.
