Lucinda Williams - Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road

Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road is a live studio album by American singer songwriter Lucinda Williams, released in December 2024 via Highway 20 Records.

Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road was recorded at The Beatles legendary studio in London and this new collection serves as Vol. 7 of her celebrated Lu’s Jukebox series and is the first new volume in almost four years.

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.

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.

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.

Lu’s Jukebox originally began during the pandemic in 2020 as a way to help independent music when there were no live performances. Scheduled as a six-episode series of mostly full-band, HD video performances in-studio, the series featured themed sets of cover songs curated by Williams and streamed for a fee with proceeds going to designated venues. The series became a fan favourite and each have been released on vinyl, CD and via streaming services.

Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road is an inspirational example of an artist who, at 71 years old and following a stroke in 2020, continues to write, perform and find new ways to fuel her creative fire that continues to burn as brightly as ever.

This album is on black vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed insert, pressed in the US via Highway 20 Records and Thirty Tigers.
