The Fat Angel Sings

‘Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road’ features 12 Beatles songs that include classic hits such as ‘Can’t Buy Me Love,’ ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ and ‘Something.

‘ Williams and her band also take on beloved deeper tracks such as ‘I’m So Tired,’ ‘I’ve Got A Feeling,’ and ‘Yer Blues.’ Being raised on the blues in the South, the latter is a song Williams was clearly meant to sing. Recorded at The Beatles’ legendary studio in London, the new collection serves as Vol. 7 of her celebrated ‘Lu’s Jukebox” series and is the first new volume in almost four years.

While many great artists have recorded in the hallowed Abbey Road Studios, as it turns out, Williams is the first major artist to actually record Beatles’ songs there aside from the Fab Four themselves. A master of Americana, Lucinda Williams has done a lot of great things in her career. Among the most prestigious is “Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road“, in which she covers tracks that the Fab Four originally recorded at London’s world famous Abbey Road studios back in the Sixties, from ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ to ‘Let It Be’. It also makes her the only artist to actually perform these songs within the studio’s hallowed walls other than The Beatles themselves.

As an acclaimed, award-winning singer/songwriter for more than four decades, Williams’ music has been highly influential and covered by a multitude of artists. Williams is also an extraordinary interpreter who, like all great interpreters, has the ability to inhabit a song and make it her own. She does just that throughout this selection of Beatles tracks, as she has done on each ‘Lu’s Jukebox’ volume.
