Lucinda Williams enlists Norah Jones, Mavis Staples on January album

Lucinda Williams has teamed up for a duet with Mavis Staples on a rendition of Bob Marley's 1979 tune “So Much Trouble In The World.”

The track appears on the multi-Grammy winner’s (Car Wheels on a Gravel Road) forthcoming album World’s Gone Wrong (out January 23rd). Listen HERE.

“’So Much Trouble In The World’ was a song that hit me right away, and we had been messing around with for a few years,” says Williams. “When the new album started to take on a topical nature we knew that we absolutely had to get it recorded. It was a centerpiece of the record and who better to get to sing it with me than Mavis Staples. I am so thrilled that the two of us could finally do something together, and on such an amazing song.”

Previously, Williams released the new song “We’ve Come Too Far To Turn Around,” featuring Norah Jones on piano and harmony vocals. 

World’s Gone Wrong was co-produced by Tom Overby (Williams' husband) and her longtime collaborator Ray Kennedy, who recorded and mixed the album at his Room & Board Studio in Nashville, TN.
