Vanished Gardens is a studio album made in collaboration between jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd, the backing band The Marvels, and roots music singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, released on June 29, 2018, by Blue Note Records.

[2] The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave the release 3.5 out of five stars, with reviewer Thom Jurek praising the performance: "they create a music that draws on the sum total of experience and shared emotion".

[1] In Rolling Stone, Hank Shteamer gave the same score, noting the "savvy stylistic blend", summing up, "As diverse as the material here is, there’s no sense that Lloyd is putting on different hats.

[6] Will Layman of PopMatters situated the recording in Lloyd's musical evolution, as part of his exploration of Americana, with praise for the instrumentals but a special attention to the five vocals tracks where Williams appears.

[3] The Associated Press' Pablo Gorondi also noted the blending of styles, calling this "a dynamic ensemble’s testament to creativity, musicianship and independence"[8] and in The Boston Globe, Jon Garelick emphasized the somber tone of the music and the uplifting benediction of the musicians' cover of "Angel".
