Three-time Grammy winner Lucinda Williams addresses America’s unrest on World’s Gone Wrong, out January 23 via Highway 20 Records. Written and recorded in spring 2025, the urgent album opens with the title track featuring Brittney Spencer — a working‑class anthem: “come on baby we gotta stay strong.”

Across nine originals, Williams urges listeners to rise above the times. She duets with Mavis Staples on Bob Marley’s “So Much Trouble In The World.” The bluesy “How Much Did You Get For Your Soul” revisits her 2020 themes; “Freedom Speaks” warns against complacency. The album closes with “We’ve Come Too Far to Turn Around,” featuring Norah Jones on piano and harmonies — a hymn of struggle and redemption.

World’s Gone Wrong is a wake‑up call and battle cry, reaffirming Williams as a vital, uncompromising American voice.
