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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere'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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57351094010161,"sku":"787790336358","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Lucinda_Williams-Lus_Jukebox_Vol._2_Southern_Soul_From_Memphis_to_Muscle_Shoals_More.jpg?v=1793977363","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/lucinda-williams-lus-jukebox-vol-2-southern-soul-from-memphis-to-muscle-shoals-more","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
