By the time 1998's Car Wheels On A Gravel Road took home the honor of Best Contemporary Folk Album at the 41st GRAMMY Awards, Lucinda Williams had established herself as one of the most authentic and talented songwriters the genre had seen in a long time. Now, two decades later, Williams has announced a tour in celebration of the breakout album.

The special anniversary tour will kick off Nov. 2 in Collingswood, N.J. and hit 10 cities before wrapping in Berwyn, Ill. On Nov. 17. Williams will perform the album in full, including such classic songs as "Can't Let Go," "Drunken Angel," "2 Kool 2 B 4-Gotten," "Metal Firecracker," and more followed by selections of songs spanning the rest of her illustrious career.  

Williams just wrapped a tour with American outlaw Steve Earle and country legend Dwight Yoakam aptly titled the LSD tour. Williams also recently made a memorable appearance at Newport Folk Festival with jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd.

Earlier this year, the GRAMMY winner announced she's penning a memoir looking back at her Louisiana upbringing, her experiences in the music industry, and her remarkable career. The book is due out in 2020 from publisher Henry Holt.

Tickets for the Car Wheels On A Gravel Road 20th Anniversary tour go on sale Aug. 23. More information is available at Williams' website.

Pentatonix have made a name for themselves cranking out mind-blowing a cappella covers of everything from Christmas favorites to Daft Punk, Camila Cabello, Demi Lovato, and so many more. On July 26 the group released their latest, an ambitious romp through Rihanna's discography in the "Evolution Of Rihanna."

The quintet, comprising Kirstin Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee, run through some of Rihanna's biggest career hits, seamlessly transitioning between "S.O.S," "Work," "We Found Love," "Take A Bow," "Rude Boy," "Disturbia," "Wild Thoughts," and more in the nearly seven-minute video. This is the fourth such installment Pentatonix has released, following Michael Jackson, Beyoncé and a tour of music history.

If this cover isn't enough Pentatonix for you, then good news. The group kicked off their North American tour July 26 in Dallas and you can catch them live in additional cities such as Atlanta, Tampa, Fla., Syracuse, N.Y., and Toronto before they wrap up in Tinley Park, Ill., on Sept. 16.
