Hear Lucinda Williams' Sing 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' -- Teaser for Her New Beatles Covers Album

An unexpected Fabs cover that's pretty great, IMO. 


More info on Williams' Beatles covers LP from JamBase:

For her first Lu’s Jukebox in four years, Williams takes aim at The Beatles catalog. Upping the ante, she recorded the covers album at the studio The Fab Four made famous, London’s Abbey Road.

Williams also puts a stamp on history as the first major artist to record Beatles songs in the space where John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr recorded nearly all of their albums, then called EMI Studios. The Beatles named their final recorded album after the street EMI was on, Abbey Road, and shot the record’s iconic cover on the Abbey Road crossing. The name of the recording facility was changed to Abbey Road in 1976.

Williams tackles both Beatles classics (“Can’t Buy Me Love,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Something”) and deeper cuts (“I’m So Tired,” “I’ve Got A Feeling,” “Yer Blues”) on the 12-track record.
