Lucinda Williams heads deep into soul country on Lu's Jukebox Vol. 2: Southern Soul: From Memphis to Muscle Shoals & More, a heartfelt tour through the records that shaped her as a Southern songwriter.

Like the rest of the series, the set was performed live with her band at Ray Kennedy's Room & Board Studio in Nashville and streamed as a ticketed show in late 2020, with part of the proceeds supporting independent venues hit hard by the pandemic. The album followed in 2021. The songs come from the great studios and songwriters of Memphis and Muscle Shoals, with a few detours, and Williams treats them with the respect of a lifelong fan.

Her weathered voice is a natural fit for this material. "Ode to Billie Joe" becomes a slow, humid piece of Southern gothic storytelling, and "Rainy Night in Georgia" gets a beautifully worn-in reading full of late-night ache. She digs into Al Green's "Take Me to the River" with a gritty groove, and Percy Sledge's "It Tears Me Up" finds her at her most vulnerable.

There's nothing slick about these performances, which is precisely the point. It's a loving homage from an artist who has always understood that soul music and country storytelling spring from the same place. Turn it up on a warm evening.
