Holly Williams could have come from anywhere. She might have started singing and writing long before she actually did. Her bloodline could have been nobody's concern. It doesn't matter.
It just so happens that she comes from Nashville, not as a transplant with a guitar and a one-way Greyhound ticket but as a native.
It's true: Hank is her grandfather, Hank Jr. her dad, Hank III her half-brother...and that doesn't matter either.
For Holly Williams is fully her own woman. Every song on her debut album, "The Ones We Never Knew", was written solely by Holly. Throughout her debut album, she stands on her own, with unique gifts that pay tribute to her lineage far more profoundly than mere imitation. "Would You Still Have Fallen" has Holly asking if she couldn't have done more to stop an addicted friend from destroying herself. "Everybody's Waiting For A Change" deals with the willingness to judge all but oneself, "I'll Only Break Your Heart", a brutally honest song dealing with commitment issues, and "Take Me Down" which explores an abusive relationship in the mind of the lover who is too dependent to walk away. Her songs conjure up images that everyone can relate to, as they also address issues that run much deeper than her years. Some of this magic descends from the spirits that haunt her family tree--but that tree is only one part of the landscape that open us up to Holly...an artist already as distinctive as any others who bear her name. |
