Lucinda Williams - Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone + Download Code

The Grammy Award-winner's first ever double studio album

Featuring 20 new recordings

3-LP deluxe tri-fold package, includes album download

Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone, the first release on Lucinda Williams' own Highway 20 Records label, is easily the most ambitious creation in a body of work that's long on ambition.

Over the course of two discs, Williams leaves no emotional crevice left unexplored, drinking deeply from a well of inspiration that culminates with an offering that overflows with delta-infused country soul. Williams wrings every drop of affirmation from uplifting tracks like the empowering "Walk On" (a loping paean to life's most sustaining aspects, the fleeting and the permanent) and every whit of dark beauty from songs such as "This Old Heartache" (a stark reminder that churning psychic waters can lurk beneath a placid surface).

Produced by Tom Overby, Greg Leisz and Lucinda Williams, recorded and mixed by Dave Bianco, mastered by Joe Gastwirt. The songs are amplified by a range of musical talents that include Greg Leisz, Tony Joe White, Pete Thomas, Gia Ciambotti, Bill Frisell and Jakob Dylan.

"The 61-year-old artist's first new album in four years (and 11th overall) is a big one, with 20 tracks (18 written solely by Williams) spread across two discs. Guests include Bill Frisell, Jakob Dylan, Ian McLagan (Faces), and Elvis Costello's rhythm section of Pete Thomas and Davey Faragaher. The album also features a track with lyrics from Williams' father, poet Miller Williams." — metacritic.com
