Lucinda Williams will release a memoir on April 25, via Crown. Don’t Tell Anybody The Secrets I Told You will tell the story of the singer-songwriter’s life and career. “For decades now, I’ve shared my innermost thoughts and experiences via my songs,“ Williams said in a statement. “After years spent toying with the idea, I’ve decided to finally tell my stories more fully. But this won’t be a sugar-coated memoir; I want people to really see the truth of my life.”
The book will chronicle Williams’ “traumatic childhood in the Deep South, her years of being overlooked in the music industry, and the stories that inspired her enduring songs,” according to a press release.
