Lucinda Williams had a hell of a lineup on her latest album, Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart, the 70-year-old country-rock icon’s first since a 2020 stroke that robbed Williams of her ability to play guitar.
Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa provide backing vocals on lead single “New York Comeback,” while Steve Ferrone of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (whose final three shows Williams opened, merely a week before Petty’s sudden death) plays drums on the majority of tracks. Margo Price even makes two contributions, one in each half of the 10-track record.
At Clearwater’s Capitol Theatre, Williams will be leaning on her band, Buick 6 for all instrumentation, but don’t change the locks: It’s still a two-and-a-half-hour gig with her at the forefront.
