Hey! Calling all Dar Williams fans! This talented young songwriter is releasing a new album Feb. 15th. It´s called "The Beauty of the Rain", and it combines Dar´s amazing lyric talent and intricate guitar with guest musicians like Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, John Popper, Stefan Lessard (Dave Mathews Band), John Medeski, and Michael Kang (String Cheese Incident).
As a fan and a songwriter, I can´t emphasize Dar´s talent enough. She can fit so many emotions and images into a single line, and she tells rich, deep, and diverse stories. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an empowering, sensitive, clever woman songwriter.
