 Victoria Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1995, Williams released her first live album, This Moment in Toronto With the Loose Band.
Also that year, Williams appeared on Strong Hand of Love, a fund-raising tribute album to songwriter Mark Heard, who had passed away in 1992.
That December she participated in a Christmas concert with Jane Siberry, Holly Cole, Mary Margaret O'Hara and Rebecca Jenkins, broadcast over CBC Radio in Canada and National Public Radio in the United States and subsequently released on CD as Count Your Blessings.

 Gauntlet Buzz - Victoria Williams' show-and-tell
Williams is particularly excited to be part of the Calgary Folk Festival as it is a format she finds has the most to offer fans.
Williams, whose folk sound is brightened by her uniquely pleasing child-like voice, is currently on tour supporting last year's Water to Drink.
A tribute album, Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams, was released in her honour in 1993 featuring performances from Pearl Jam, Lou Reed and Soul Asylum.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Williams also put in a cameo appearance with hubby Mark Olson's band, the Original Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers, which opened the show with a passel of yearning tunes more redolent of country pioneers like the Louvin Brothers than the alt-country sound he plied as a member of the Jayhawks.
The jazziness Williams called on for the latter song -- emphasized by the subtle cornet shadings of John Birdsong -- has come into more prominence than the rustic Appalachian sound that once dominated her act.

 Victoria Williams review by The Phantom Tollbooth
Victoria's various influences--folk, jazz, country, rock and roll, and gospel--come through in the songs, but even the rock and roll pieces are subtle and restrained and don't overpower Victoria's musings.
Victoria Williams's new album is most appropriately titled.
Victoria remains Victoria, which means there's a little bit of everything here musically in addition to the varied lyrics.

 A Concert Review by The Phantom Tollbooth
Williams' music is an eclectic jazzy, folky experience, with Williams herself gaily hopping from banjo, to drum, to classical or electric guitar, to piano, all overlaid with her characteristic vocal touch.
Williams sang a wide range of songs spanning her discography, but it was the old favorites that met with the greatest applause.
After the concert, Olson mentioned that he always greatly hopes fans will hear the music they love, and he had even made suggestions to her on stage to that effect.

 Victoria Williams
When Williams harmonizes with her husband on a few tracks, the sound is mighty close to the music Gram Parsons made with Emmylou Harris.
The title track, a bossa nova written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and adapted by Williams, is one of the happy-go-lucky numbers that dot the record and make it seem that her muse is as random and alluring as a really good thrift store.
Victoria Williams and Mark Olson and the Original Harmony Ridge Creekdippers appear this Sunday, October 15, at the Somerville Theatre.

 Varsity Arts & Culture -- Victoria Williams: cowgirl in the sand
Williams knew she wanted to include it on the album but wasn't sure what approach to take until a neighbour of hers dropped by.
Williams' albums include her own drawings, photographs and personal messages, which give you the feeling that you've been sent a letter or have just picked up a friend's zine.
Williams generally includes a cover on her albums; Loose featured a version of "What a Wonderful World," and this time out she's covered "Nature Boy" by Eden Abez.

 Only A Hobo - Victoria Williams
Williams too, is having a blast, with a perpetual life of touring and recording.
Victoria, Olson, and their pal Mike 'Razz' Russell have also just recorded an album together under the moniker of The Original Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers.
Williams first recorded "Train Song" during the Joshua Tree sessions, but didn't care for the result.

 CityBeat: Short Takes (2002-07-11)
Williams' flighty vocal style has scared away some listeners, but those who adore her music love it for that same reason.
The arrangements are lovely, but it's Williams' vocals that send the songs to a new level, her near-stumble of a voice recalling the fractured-genius Jazz vocalists of days gone by.
Williams has spun the classics before on previous efforts (notably "What a Wonderful World," from the classic Loose) and anyone who has seen her perform with her traveling Creek Dippers has heard a few of these Ol' Songs already.

 Victoria Williams & the Loose Band
Victoria Williams came to popular recognition three years ago when the Sweet Relief CD was released.
There are those who are bothered by Williams' childlike voice, but this is what brings her sweet schoolgirl innocence to lyrics that can be sensual, sad, and tranquil in the same breath.

 Salon Sharps and Flats: Victoria Williams
Williams' more traditional songs are wonderful as well: "Hummingbird," with its backyard beat and hoedown feel, is a shining example of her songcraft.
Williams' steel pedal guitar and banjo put her in the former camp, while her trilling piano and occasionally funky bass lines set her in the latter.
The textures of Williams' songs get richer with each unforseen element and surprise turn.

Victoria Williams--vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, ocarina, dulcimer
This is a great album, classic Victoria, much in the same vein as my favorite songs from Musings of a Creekdipper.
It was recorded in Toronto for the CBC, and it captures her performance perfectly with Victoria chatting between songs.

 Victoria Williams: Nature's Way
Made up of Olson, Williams (in her alter-ego guise of Mabel Albright) and Minnesota-based fiddler Mike "Razz" Russell, the Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers' mail-order-only CD is a low-keyed, countryish affair that was recorded in the couple's living room.
So are the song 'n' danceman Andy Williams' sons, David and Andrew, who record as the Williams Brothers.
Olson's take-it-or-leave-it vocals, banjo and lonesome harmonica dominates the landscape, with Russell's violin filling in the spaces after Williams has added her lilting harmonies.

 Willamette Week - Country Music Victoria Williams - 4-1-98
Williams is touring with her label mate, 23-year-old Chris Stills.
From a Toronto, Canada, hotel room she says, in her wispy, sunny voice, that this record for her is "kind of like moving on." She's more appreciative of what she has--and what she could lose.
Maturity isn't a quality that alternative musicians generally aspire to, but it's just the right word to describe the overriding feel of Victoria Williams' latest album, Musings of a Creekdipper.

 Victoria Williams: Sings Some Ol' Songs - PopMatters Music Review
These songs seemed to stay with Williams despite forging a grand path in acoustic and roots music.
Resembling a possible Macy Gray interlude, Williams and her vocals are often one step ahead of the harmony vocals, which adds a certain element of ragged joy to it.
Williams turns "As Time Goes By" on its musical head by beginning with a short speech.

 Salon Sharps and Flats: Interview: Victoria Williams
Williams began playing in a number of open tunings, which allowed her to form bar chords with one finger on guitar and banjo, leaving some of the trickier parts to her merry band of cohorts.
Williams has always sought, perhaps unconsciously, to re-create the "good vibe" scene of Shreveport, La., where she first learned to make songs -- to communicate the notions in her head, forthright and fanciful alike, through music.
Gone are her manic guitar solos, replaced by delicate piano arpeggios, swooping jazz bass lines and swells of orchestral timpani.

 Victoria Williams: Water to Drink - PopMatters Music Review
I was first heard Victoria Williams' music on the benefit album, Sweet Relief.
While Williams is unparalleled as a songwriter, especially as a lyricist, I found Happy Come Home and Swing the Statue to be musically rather thin.
So while I remained a devotee of the Jayhawks -- who remain one of the most underappreciated bands in America -- I stopped listening to Victoria Williams, catching her newer releases only in bits and pieces at friends' homes, who insisted that I didn't know what I was missing.

 VH1.com : Victoria Williams : Biography
Finally, Williams made her solo recording debut in 1987 with Happy Come Home, a collection showcasing her vivid songcraft as well as her off-kilter, squeaky vocal style.
In response, her manager began assembling friends and fans to record Williams' songs for a benefit album; the result, 1993's Sweet Relief: A Benefit for Victoria Williams, featured the likes of Pearl Jam, Lou Reed, Matthew Sweet, the Jayhawks, and Soul Asylum, whose rendition of "Summer of Drugs" was the record's first single.
Born in Louisiana in 1959, Williams taught herself to play the guitar while still in her teens, and soon began composing songs.

 RollingStone.com: Victoria Williams : Train Kept A-Rollin' : News
But this natural-born storyteller is still better known for her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis than her vivid lyrics and sweetly warbling vocals.
She was also preparing for her fourth release, Musings of a Creekdipper, a deeply personal album with a slightly darker hue than her previous efforts -- yet nonetheless retains Williams' childlike wonder of nature and her surroundings.
Amid the hubbub of a hectic schedule that includes working on a children's record, collaborating on a musical and serving as a committee member for Sweet Relief, the foundation she started to help uninsured musicians pay medical bills, Williams took a moment to talk about trains, hummingbirds and the current wave of women songwriters.

Her often lazy songs about birds, flowers, love and assorted happy topics would be hard to stomach for those who want angst, conflict and depression in their music.

 KMR #30, Victoria Williams and Chris Stills in Concert
Victoria also handed over the stage to her husband on a number of occasions, and he performed several pieces with the band, including "Valentine King" and "Runs With Ponies," most of them sturdy, rustic acoustic pop not far removed from the Jayhawks material.
Stills is certainly not far afield from his father's musical legacy, but those interested in the genre will find him a rewarding listen.
The set was opened by Chris Stills, who did a 45-minute set of solo acoustic material from his debut record, Hundred Year Thing (Atlantic Records).

 Channel3000.com - Williams Sheds Overalls For Cocktail Dress
Although Williams' reputation is that of a folk-country singer, the record shows her equally at home with horn sections and a standup bass as she is with pedal steel guitars.
For most of the last decade, Williams has quietly released folk-oriented albums and collaborated with her husband Mark Olson (formerly of the Jayhawks) as the Original Harmony Creekdippers.
In fact, a complete album of her mostly-acoustic songs was done by various artists to offset the cost of her medical expenses for multiple sclerosis in the early '90s.

Giant Sand's association with Victoria Williams goes back several years; she guested as lead guitarist on the band's 1990 tour of Europe, and she is featured on their 1991 album Ramp.
Indeed, when the Louisiana-bred singer and songwriter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in the spring, 1992, performers from all over the musical spectrum sprang to her aid with their moral, financial and musical support.
A native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Victoria Williams is widely respected as a uniquely compelling performer and a gifted songwriter.

 Victoria Williams: Musings of a Creekdipper: Pitchfork Review
Usually happy, with Williams loopy stream- of- consiousness lyrical whirls bandied about, the record is a bunch of fun on the surface.
Their touch is especially evident on "Train Song," which records the demise of the caboose as a locomotive essential.
One of the oddest things about this release is that Williams collaborates on several tracks with Wendy and Lisa, the duo that previously worked with Prince and the Revolution.

 Victoria Williams
Victoria Williams is a singer/songwriter whose vivid words and melodies can paint an unforgettable picture even upon first listening.
Sweet Relief offered Victoria's visionary songwriting; "LOOSE" offers that and, no less important, Williams herself singing and performing her own material.
Now, driving that point home even more forcefully is "LOOSE" - the first album of Victoria's Mammoth/Atlantic recording career.

 Victoria Williams & Mark Olson Discography: Slipcue.Com Music Guide
Williams tackles the title track -- an old Antonio Carlos Jobim bossa nova standard -- with a bouncy lounge-y zeal; elsewhere she adopts a Rickie Lee Jones hipster scat style.
Recording together as the Original Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers, Olson and Williams have gone off about as far into left field, musically speaking, as possible, staying true to a Muse that is as big a goofball as they themselves seem to be.
As odd and as brilliant as I thought their last album was, I have to say, Olson and Williams are really pushing it on this one.

 TrouserPress.com :: Victoria Williams
The album's thematic consistency makes it feel less adventurous than Williams’ past work — as if some of her belated childlike innocence had finally fled — but that didn’t become a real problem until the next release.
Encouraged by Williams' jazziest singing (check the graceful "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"), however, the piano-based chamber-pop arrangements reach rarefied Joni Mitchell levels, and the album tilts dangerously toward the preciousness Williams' best studio work (and guitar-based concerts) so easily resists.
With her disease in remission, Williams made the absolutely wonderful Loose, a sublime masterpiece positively glowing with love and good feelings.

And that "shack." Mark Olson (ex-Jayhawks) and Victoria Williams have been singing about each other for a couple of albums now ("Miss Williams' Guitar" on the Jayhawks' Tomorrow The Green Grass, "When We Sing Together" from Victoria's Loose), and their marriage officially makes them the King and Queen of the alt.country prom.
The music they make together in the home studio they've set up in their little "shack" in the desert has first seen the light of day as The Original Harmony Ridge Creekdippers, a self-released recording Victoria refers to as "Mark's record." And this will not be the last we hear from this little kitchen studio.

If on Water to Drink, Victoria Williams finally, irrefutably, became an all-around great record-maker--singer, songwriter, guitarist, arranger, producer--on Sings Some Ol' Songs, she reminds us that making records is finally, irrefutably, about giving a voice to other people's emotions.
Back in 1987, when Williams released her first album, Happy Come Home (Geffen), record covers still carried the label "Also available on cassette." By 1990, on the back of her second album, Swing the Statue!
"This moment will never be again," Williams acknowledges in the title track to her live CD, This Moment: In Toronto with the Loose Band (1995, Atlantic), on which a new song called "Graveyard" directly addresses the somber reality beneath Loose's lighthearted surface.

Victoria Williams' newest Dualtone CD features 11 American classics songs recorded between 1993 and 2002.

When I first listened to this 11-song compilation from the traditional American songbook, I immediately thought of singers like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra or Arthur "Dooley" Wilson.

 Victoria Williams, Sings Some Ol' Songs
Victoria Williams has a twangy voice that's one part little girl and a couple of other parts unknown -- perhaps a bit of Appalachian-style whimsy, her own home-bred Louisiana raspy warble that may seem disconcerting at first listen.
There's an authentic innocence and longing working with the piano and string accompaniment.
Opening "As Time Goes By" with a spoken piece, Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer's "I'm Old Fashioned," and singing with only a Wurlitzer and bass, Williams sets herself in the musical interlude of a black-and-white film, but it's not Casablanca.

The second track, "Gladys and Lucy," is backed by a horn and synth line that seems excessive beside Williams' youthful voice.

Williams, and no doubt there's a wiseass out there somewhere thinking "I bet she sounds better that way." Granted, her voice, which has been described as "an intoxicating blend of little-girl breathiness and old-lady crackle and wisdom" and which she herself has called "wobbly," is an acquired taste.
