Lucinda Williams announced the latest edition of her Lu’s Jukebox cover series and it’s a big one. Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road is due out on December 6 and is previewed with “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

Revered singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams began her Lu’s Jukebox series in 2020 during the pandemic to aid independent music venues when there were no live performances. Williams released an impressive six volumes, tipping her cap to greats like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and Tom Petty.

For her first Lu’s Jukebox in four years, Williams takes aim at The Beatles catalog. Upping the ante, she recorded the covers album at the studio The Fab Four made famous, London’s Abbey Road.

Williams also puts a stamp on history as the first major artist to record Beatles songs in the space where John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr recorded nearly all of their albums, then called EMI Studios. The Beatles named their final recorded album after the street EMI was on, Abbey Road, and shot the record’s iconic cover on the Abbey Road crossing. The name of the recording facility was changed to Abbey Road in 1976.

Williams tackles both Beatles classics (“Can’t Buy Me Love,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Something”) and deeper cuts (“I’m So Tired,” “I’ve Got A Feeling,” “Yer Blues”) on the 12-track record.

Williams shared her cover of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” to preview Lucinda Williams Sings The Beatles From Abbey Road. Lucinda and her band sound fantastic on the George Harrison-penned classic. Listen below:
