	Dar Williams - Biography - AOL Music
		Dar Williams has become a major force on the New England folk scene.
		Williams tried hard, especially between late 1992 and early 1993, but things didn't pan out, so she abandoned Boston for the relaxed folksy, artsy atmosphere of Northhampton, MA, home of many prominent universities.
		Williams performs on the college and coffeehouse circuit and has also been winning rave reviews for festival appearances, including the Newport Folk Festival and the Mississippi River Music Fest, St. Louis; she issued Cry, Cry, Cry in 1998.

		Dar Williams may sing about not wanting to be another mystery, but with the release of The Green World, her fourth CD and third on the Razor & Tie label, she serves up a slew of songs as creative as they are cryptic.
		Arguably her most "produced" record to date, Williams' familiar lyrical gushes and lilting melodies are very much in evidence despite the onslaught of electric guitars, organ and various modes of percussion.
		Williams' lyrics have always leaned toward the more abstract end of the poetical spectrum, leaving much of what she writes open to speculation as to their meaning and whether they reflect scenes from her own life or those close to her.

	Splendid: Features: Dar Williams
		Dar Williams: I started out as a playwright, and I remember there was this workshop where people used to write scenes, and there was this one guy who commented on a scene by saying, "The problem was that it was only about one thing".
		Dar Williams: I probably have a pretty large army of alter egos going on in various songs, and that's a relief to me. I don't know how I come across, as myself -- you know, myself as a teenager who grew up in the suburbs, went to a college, went to Boston after college...
		Dar Williams: Well, I think that every record of mine is sort of a concept record, in that the songwriting chapters kind of catch me at certain times of my life.

		Lyrically and musically, this is why Dar Williams became one of the premier folk singers in the U.S. and U.K. after this emerged in 1993 from a studio in Belchertown in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, and the college town of Northampton, where Dar was living when she recorded this little gem.
		Dar Williams is a great lyricist, and has a knack for setting her smart, honest lyrics to catchy tunes.

		Nowhere has this been more obvious than with the rise of Dar Williams, who was proclaimed the "folk darling" of the Internet, soon after the release of her first album, The Honesty Room.

		Dar had the same band she had at Falcon Ridge this year: a guitar player who was mercifully NOT named Billy Masters, drummer, keyboard player, and the incredibly cool Gail Ann Dorsey on bass.

		Dar left the stage about as happy as her fans—she even said "this was the best show so far, thanks!" as she left the stage.

		Dar Williams creates her songs with memorable and insightful lyrics that evoke hauntingly familiar emotions and places.
		(Williams is presently reworking classic Dead material, so it seems her batteries are still not charged.) She'll (eventually) be back, better than ever, though; Williams is the real deal, and it shows even on a 'transitional' album.
		To be fair, I am a fan of Dar's raw stuff - Dar and guitar, and minimalist everything else and feel that to mix the honesty of her voice and lyrics with mainstream pop-culture-esque accompaniment seems vulgar.

		Dar took a new approach in the recording of this album.
		Another of the covers is Williams’ version of Neil Young’s “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.” The track begins like a bluegrass march with mandolins and snare drums and turns with little hesitation into the stomper Young intended.
