Lucinda Williams is joining the trend of devoting a concert to a single album, except that she has loaded up pratically the entire catalog.
Williams will play five nights at L.A.'s El Rey and follow it up with five in New York, two at Irving Plaza and  three shows at Manhattan’s Town Hall
Each show will be dedicated to a single album followed by a set of music from her latest disc "West."
The albums she'll be performing are: her 1988 self-titled disc, "Sweet Old World," "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road," "Essence" and "World Without Tears."
Williams will perform the albums in reverse chronological order; first night in each city, therefore, gets "World Without Tears."
Williams will play the El Rey Sept. 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10; Irving Plaza on Sept. 29 and 30, and Town Hall on Oct. 2, 3 and 4. Tickets for the shows go on sale Saturday.
