I have to confess that I was not familiar with Holly Williams prior to yesterday. I received a copy of her Here With Me record on Mercury and just like every other disc I receive I gave it a listen. Immediately I noticed a version of Neil Young's Birds as the last track so I started there.
Her version was great so I listened to the rest of it. I am adding 4 from the disc later today. Those tracks are Mama, Keep The Change, A Love That Will Last and the aforementioned version of Birds. The Ann Coulter-ish picture on the front and replicated on this post put me off a little bit because Coulter is a nut. Once I started reading up on Holly Williams I find out she is the offspring of Hank Jr. Obviously she takes after her mother - which is lucky for her. She is also a half-sister to Hank III who appears on Cosmic American Radio frequently.
Now it all makes sense that a Hank Williams offspring can play, write and record some great tracks. As an unexpected bonus she is very cute! If you enjoy the tracks go check out the links above.
