Three-time Grammy Award winner Lucinda Williams has announced a fall tour in support of her critically acclaimed new album Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart (Highway 20 Records/Thirty Tigers). The “Don’t Tell Anybody The Secrets” tour will be a multi-media experience with Williams sharing stories and anecdotes while performing songs from throughout her celebrated career. The tour will kick off on October 7th at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and will include stops in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Toronto, Boston and New York City. See a full list of tour dates below.
Following its June 30th release, Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart received high praise from the press in what many have referred to as a “comeback” album following Williams’ 2020 stroke. She was recently featured on CBS Sunday Morning and the subject of major features in Rolling Stone, Billboard, Paste, The FADER, SPIN and more. Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart received very positive reviews that include The Wall Street Journal, NPR Music, Pitchfork, The Associated Press, No Depression and much more (See Highlights).
“…Williams uses ‘Stories’ to draft a lineage to which she belongs, as both inheritor and peer, disciple and godmother to a specific vein of American rock and roll. As one of America’s most revered songwriters… she’s not just a vein of rock and roll; she’s in its blood.” – NPR Music
“From her inimitable drawl to the delicately fashioned lyrics that are by turns wry and blisteringly sincere, every aspect of her music feels like an encounter with the truth, drawn from a life lived close to the bone and free of restraint.” – The FADER
★★★★1/2– American Songwriter
“At the age of 70 and about three years after her stroke, the singer delivers an album full of reflection, perseverance and unwavering devotion to music.”
– Wall Street Journal
Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart was produced by Williams, Tom Overby and Ray Kennedy, who also engineered. The album includes guest backing vocals by Jeremy Ivey, Jesse Malin, Buddy Miller, Angel Olsen, Margo Price, Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen and Tommy Stinson.
In April, Williams released her long-awaited memoir Don’t Tell Anybody The Secrets I Told You (Crown, a division of Penguin Random House LLC) to wide critical acclaim. The memoir debuted at #5 on the New York Times Bestsellers and she was featured on the cover of the New York Times Sunday Styles. Williams was featured at Vanity Fair, NPR All Things Considered, The Associated Press, Esquire, The Nation and much more including a sit down on Late Night with Seth Meyers in April.
