LUCINDA WILLIAMS AVAILABLE
JANUARY 20 AS 25^TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL REISSUE 

PACKAGE TO INCLUDE REMASTERED ALBUM AND BONUS DISC WITH UNRELEASED
1989 CONCERT, NEW PHOTOS 
AND NEW LINER NOTES

Lucinda Williams, the acclaimed self-titled 1988 album from the three-time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter, will see a special 25^th Anniversary reissue with bonus features on January 20 via her new independent label in conjunction with Thirty Tigers.

Often referred to as “The Rough Trade” album (the UK label that originally released it),Lucinda Williams has been out of print for 10 years. The new package will include a remastered version from the original master recordings, which had been missing for over 20 years. The package will feature a bonus disc containing an unreleased 1989 live concert recorded in Eindhoven, Netherlands and six previously released live bonus tracks. The expanded booklet will include never before seen photos and two new sets of liner notes: one written by Rough Trade A&R man Robin Hurley and a second set written by respected US music writer Chris Morris.

Lucinda Williams was the artist’s second album of original songs and has become a personal favorite of so many over the years. Major artists have gone on to cover tracks from Lucinda Williams. The Grammy Award-winning Passionate Kisses (1994 Country Song Of The Year) was a big hit for Mary Chapin Carpenter in 1993, in 1983 Emmylou Harris recorded “Crescent City” and  in 1996 Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers recorded “Changed The Locks”.

Looking back, it is clear that Lucinda Williams would be a precursor to a career filled with critically-acclaimed, award-winning albums, including Sweet Old World (1992), Car Wheels On A Gravel Road (1998), Essence (2001). World Without Tears (2003) andBlessed (2011). There is much more to come, as a new Lucinda Williams studio album will be released mid-2014.
