Summary

Chelsea and Death, Sex & Money host Anna Sale dive into Lucinda Williams’s memoir “Don't Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You.” They explore the Southern women who influenced Lucinda’s life, her late-in-life rise to fame, and the time Rosanne Cash tried to glam her up for the Grammys (and Lucinda ghosted). Plus: age-gap relationships, Rick Rubin’s album power play, and an odd cameo from Ryan Adams. Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including suicide, sexual assault, child abuse, and substance use. Take care while listening, and find helpful resources here.
