Today's Top Tune: Lucinda Williams ‘How Much Did You Get For Your Soul’

Three-time GRAMMY Award winner Lucinda Williams confronts America’s socio-political unrest head-on with her new album World’s Gone Wrong. Written and recorded with urgency in spring 2025, the album serves as both wake-up call and battle cry — raw, unflinching songs that find beauty, grit, and grace in a world on edge. Standout track “How Much Did You Get for Your Soul” cuts especially deep, underscoring Williams’ enduring power as one of the most vital and uncompromising voices in American music.
