Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone, the first release on Lucinda Williams’ own Highway 20 Records label, is easily the most ambitious creation in a body of work that’s long on ambition. Over the course of two discs, Williams leaves no emotional crevice left unexplored, drinking deeply from a well of inspiration that culminates with an offering that overflows with delta-infused country soul. Available at iTunes & AMAZON!

I’ve just bought Lucinda’s new album, which is fantastic. It is such incredible value, too.
I love most of Lucinda Williams songs, but I think my favourite of all is “Greenville.”
Is she ever coming over here to Scotland?
Cheers, and well done on this excellent production.
I downloaded the double album from I-tunes Friday 3rd Oct. And it exceeded my expectation. Buy it today. You won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait for Lucinda’s next U.K. tour. I enjoyed the last one.
“Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone” is definitely a return to form displaying wonderful musicianship. The album is cohesive and atmospheric and does not sag or become fragmented like the double album format can suffer from. If it disappoints, it is perhaps the songs aren’t as developed lyrically as a lot of Lucinda’s previous albums. However, this means the album perhaps isn’t as dark as some of her previous works and will have a wider appeal.
Definitely up there with the likes of West, Car Wheels & Essence, another addition to Lucinda’s impressive catalogue and a purchase I certainly don’t regret.
I’ve been a Lucinda fan for many years and own most of her releases. In my opinion, Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone is her best yet. This is one of the very very few albums from anyone on which EVERY song is superb. All meat, no filler! I can’t stop listening …
Hello Friends! Happily took home Spirit Meets the Bone last Friday 10/3. This is really a very special album. On the list for all-time doubles. Strong real music from start to finish. Closing out with Magnolia! Something to spend time with. Thanks Lucinda. Regards, Peter
Overall I like the album, I play it a lot. Didn’t like it when I first heard it, but over time it grew on me. Still not sure about some of the Country songs, maybe I’m just not in the mood for them right now and they will appeal to me later. I am annoyed with myself that I downloaded it from Itunes and didn’t get it the actual album from Amazon because I didn’t get the album artwork and credits. I have every Lucinda album in my collection, including the reissued Car Wheels double and 1988 albums. I can refer to the sleeves and I do, so I am frustrated that I cannot read the sleeve for this new one and see who is playing. I read Tony Joe is playing, I have a lot of his albums. Great man in his big hat and growling voice. If there was a record shop near me I would go and get the album, but the nearest good one is a hundred miles away. I guess it’s on my to do list next time I’m up in the Big Smoke.
Thanks for the new double album Lu, great addition to my collection

Down where the spirit meets the bone is a great album, I love every track. I’ll second Isla Duncan’s comment – please come to Scotland!
Always loved your sound and you. Lucinda thanks for this incredible album. If it was on vinyl I would be heading back to the record store to buy another copy. Can’t wear out digital..I hope. WOW!

Deepest condolences on the passing of Miller Williams. RIP

I just saw the Grammy nominations today and I’m appalled that this record which in it’s category has got to be “record of the year” hasn’t even been nominated !!!! I’m stunned, anyway Lucinda I’m looking forward to seeing you in Dublin.
