Southern soul : from Memphis to Muscle Shoals & more

"The second in a series of albums drawn from livestream concerts Lucinda Williams presented to benefit independent music venues hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, "Lu's Jukebox, Vol. 2: Southern Soul - From Memphis to Muscle Shoals" is the sort of album so well-suited to her gifts that one wonders why she didn't do this sooner ... Recording songs that already exist in definitive performances by the likes of Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, Ann Peebles, or Al Green is either a brave or a foolish move for most musicians, but Lucinda Williams is smart enough and soulful enough to cut these tunes without embarrassing herself, and "Southern Soul - From Memphis to Muscle Shoals" demonstrates she can honor the great artists who introduced these tunes while making them her own".
