New Lu (Little Honey) out October 14...

Riding down the highway / Going to a show / Stop in all the by-ways / Playing rock and roll / Getting robbed / Getting stoned / Getting beat up / Broken boned / Getting had / Getting took / I tell you folks / It's harder than it looks / It's a long way to the top / If you wanna rock and roll
Lucinda Williams' latest effort, Little Honey, which closes with a cover of AC/DC's Long Way to the Top (above), is set for release in October on Lost Highway Records. Wow, our girl, uncharacteristically happy and content, is cranking these bad boys out like crazy after years of agonizingly long periods between releases (1988 Lucinda Williams, 1992 Sweet Old World, 1998 Car Wheels on a Gravel Road). Apparently, some cuts are from last year's West writing period, while at least one dates back about thirty years. You can catch the album's first cut, Real Love here. Meanwhile, the former queen of depression plays at New Haven's Shubert Theater on Saturday, October 4 (8pm, $50). Unfortunately, after catching her with George/Trish at the Calvin up in Northampton and in NYC at Town Hall with Keith/Sharie, I will be golfing with the boys in Richmond, RI that day. Sorry, Lu.
