Holly Williams
'Here With Me'
Country royalty does hurtin’ songs her way.
She might be Hank’s granddaughter, but Holly Williams doesn’t let the lovesick blues get her down on this twangy-yet-smooth sophomore effort. Between “He’s Making a Fool Out of You” -- which advises, “Never lay your heart down for a lie”—and an aching cover of Neil Young’s “Birds,” Williams meets life’s knottier challenges without flinching, her yearning voice revealing just enough cracks and scars to reflect hard-earned wisdom. If it all sounds too serious, check out the acoustic ballad “Three Days in Bed,” a startling display of raw desire.
