Lucinda Williams Releases Her New Song ‘Where The Song Will Find Me’ from her highly anticipated album, Stories From A Rock N Roll Heart, out June 30th on Highway 20 Records/Thirty Tigers.

Acclaimed, pioneering artist Lucinda Williams has released the stunning new song “Where the Song Will Find Me” from her triumphant album Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart (out June 30th via Highway 20 Records/Thirty Tigers).

In November 2020, Williams suffered a stroke that partially impaired some of her motor skills on the left side of her body. Through hard work and sheer determination she learned to walk again, but her ability to play the guitar has not yet returned, which is how the multi-Grammy Award-winner wrote the beloved songs in her revered canon.

“Where The Song Will Find Me” may well be the most genuinely powerful song of Williams’ career. It’s a delicate orchestral ballad with a dirty guitar solo and every bit of soul in Lucinda’s heart. The lyrics make clear her desire to keep her songwriting channel open despite having a stroke and not being able to play guitar. Williams makes this one all about emotion and intention, which are the only things that matter in songwriting, and the gentle arrangement wrapped around the song’s core never tramples on either quality. Lucinda Williams is one of the all-time greats and “Where The Song Will Find Me” shows us all that she’s nowhere close to being done and will continue to evolve, no matter what happens.

Complete with a beautiful orchestral arrangement by Lawrence Rothman, “Where the Song Will Find Me” offers an emotional and inspirational message from Williams that despite any setbacks, she will always continue to make music, by any means necessary.

Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart was produced by Williams, Tom Overby and Ray Kennedy, who also engineered. The album includes guest backing vocals by Jeremy Ivey, Jesse Malin, Buddy Miller, Angel Olsen, Margo Price, Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen and Tommy Stinson. The first single, “New York Comeback” (with BV by Scialfa and Springsteen), reached #1 on the Americana Radio Chart and remains in the top three, while also starting to make waves at AAA Radio.

Williams was featured at Vanity Fair, NPR All Things Considered, The Associated Press, Esquire, The Nation and much more including a recent sit down on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Williams will be the subject of an upcoming feature segment on CBS Sunday Morning.
