1999 CROSSROADS FOLK/ROOTS & WORLD MUSIC chart placed Jack Williams' CD, ACROSS THE WINTERLINE at #18 in national folk-radio play!
"Williams has a gentle but compelling poetic and musical vision that
deserves a wide audience. Williams' worn but warm and comfortable voice
and strikingly original poetry are a marvelous fit."
--Summer 1999 issue of
THE BILLBOARD WEATHER BUREAU review of ACROSS THE WINTERLINE
"An adept acoustic guitarist and extremely capable in the vocal and songwriting
departments…. Difficult to categorize, Williams blends folk, country,
jazz, and blues in a somewhat gentler Ry Cooder manner…. It would be hard
to value one album over the other; both are of high caliber… Possessing
a clear tenor, Williams showcases his fluid fingerpicking style on both
discs... both albums are treats for the listener. "Jack Williams comprehends
the potency of understatement and inhabits a world that may be less realistic
but certainly kinder."
-- Dirty Linen
"Whether Jack thinks of himself in this way or not, he
is a poet and philosopher who helps us understand and appreciate the
beauty of the struggles we have been through individually and as a people.
"Jack Williams is an American institution walking, a road warrior, a
talker, an inspiration and a great guy to hang with. He is the Song
Dog."
-- Dave Palmater - morning host, Folk Radio
91.9 WUMB-FM Boston
"This is music with timeless power and grace."
