Throughout her long career, Lucinda Williams has never shied away from writing about difficult but real things. If you think about it, you could call “Change The Locks” a topical song ahead of it’s time. There were several biting and brave songs on her Good Souls Better Angels album, as well as the post-Covid masterpiece Stories From A Rock N Roll Heart. With World’s Gone Wrong, Lucinda ups the ante on topical songs. It is a pure reflection of our very turbulent times, intense and musically powerful.
