Lucinda Williams has made a career out of listening to other musicians. On Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, <\/em>the songwriter\u2019s classic 1998 record, she sings, \u201cWe\u2019d put on ZZ Top and turn \u2018em up real loud,\u201d as if it\u2019s a mission statement. Williams has also made a run of six \u201cjukebox\u201d albums since 2021 covering Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, the Beatles and more. On her new record, World\u2019s Gone Wrong, <\/em>Williams sings about listening to Miles Davis and putting Slim Harpo on the jukebox. She also questions Dr. John\u2019s old adage, singing \u201cMaybe he was wrong \/ And I\u2019ve been in the right place all along.\u201d<\/p>\n

World\u2019s Gone Wrong <\/em>is Williams\u2019 16th studio album and the fourth to feature the word \u201cworld.\u201d But we\u2019re a far cry from the \u201csweet old world\u201d she lost herself in back in 1992 and more squarely in the \u201cworld without tears\u201d <\/em>she decried on her 2003 record about heartbreak. Williams is pissed off, and rightly so. In today\u2019s Trumpian new world order, not enough artists are pushing back and using their voices in protest. Williams is pushing back by crafting a rollicking blues-rock record.<\/p>\n
