Add in her exemplary command of the English language as both a songwriter an award-winning short story author and you’ve got a star who resides in rare air. Straddling the line between Americana, folk and traditional country minus the twang, her vocals may be the upfront star but it’s her songwriting that steals the show.
The daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of coal miners, Williams showed a talent for music early in life. While at college she was in the elite chamber choir, but she says back then she was too practical to pursue a life in music. “I wanted to study language and communication,” she says. “To me that felt useful, to be able to bridge divides.” So she studied linguistics and was doing everything in a very structured way, and she first encountered Appalachian literature during this time.
When she decided to give up her teaching life and pursue her musical passions, she had all the tools she would need. As you might imagine given her education and journalistic background, Williams is meticulous in her lyric writing placing a high value on each and every word. That precision pays off in spades as the songstress knows the value of both the spoken word as well as the intentional spaces left in between.
