Artists:Jack Williams
From WWR
|
South Carolinian Jack Williams, guitarist-singer-songwriter-storyteller, is outstanding among a handful of artists who--in skill, depth and integrity--stand head and shoulders above the many performers flooding today’s folk circuit. Among acoustic guitarists he is near-legendary. Having avoided the compromises of the commercial music industry during his 45+-year professional career, he prefers touring “under the radar,” playing concerts, large and small, week in and week out, from the sheer love of music and performing.
Jack is now a sought-after artist on contemporary acoustic--or "folk"--music stages. From his acclaimed appearances at the Newport, Boston, Philadelphia, Kerrville, (New Bedford) SummerFest, and other Folk Festivals, his musicianship, songs, stories and commanding presence established him as an uncommonly inspiring and influential performer.
As a guitarist, he accompanied Tom Paxton, Peter Yarrow, Mickey Newbury and Harry Nilsson. Invited onstage by Arlo Guthrie to sing a song, he then joined the group for the concert encores. He produced all of his own recordings plus CDs by Mickey Newbury, Eric Schwartz, Carla Ulbrich, The Malvinas, and Ronny Cox.
Friendships with two great singers had an enormous impact on the rest of Jack's career. In 1973, his relationship with the late Harry Nilsson resulted in an ill-fated album effort at RCA during a time of music-industry turmoil. Until recently, he toured as sole accompanist to his friend, the late legendary songwriter, Mickey Newbury, with whom he recorded a live album and video, Nights When I Am Sane (reissued as Winter Winds). In 1996, Jack played, co-produced and co-wrote songs on Mickey's CD, Lulled By The Moonlight, which became Billboard's CD pick-of-the-week. read more.
