 The Music Box: Holly Williams - The Ones We Never Knew (Album Review)
True, given the legacy of her family — her grandfather was Hank Williams, one of the most important figures in the history of American music — she won’t have to clamor much for attention, automatically obtaining a spot in line ahead of her competition simply on the basis of her name.
Fortunately, Williams was smart enough to steer clear of straight-ahead country fare, and instead, she flits around its edges while mining the more adult contemporary facets of folk-rock.
There are moments when Williams sometimes falters musically, but even then, the emotional honesty conveyed by her big voice masterfully straddles the line between strength and vulnerability while keeping the lesser material from falling flat.
