8 February 2013: Doug & Telisha Williams

Dead right, honest songwriting delivered in a hauntingly beautiful yet gritty, neo-traditional Americana wrapper. Doug and Telisha write songs about a place where old time religion, superstition, run down bars, gravel parking lots and boarded up factories all mingle together. On stage they have a stunning charisma that can transform a raucous bar into a quiet listening room, with even the most jaded hipsters waiting for the next line before ordering another PBR, then launch right into a blistering rocker that will have everyone clapping and singing along. Quick wit and fearless delivery make every show original and personal.

“This [Ghost of a Knoxville Girl] is truly an amazing Americana record. For fans of folk, country, rock and roll, bluegrass, Ryan Adams, Emmylou, Dolly & Porter, Buddy & Julie, it’s a must have record. “If My Heart” is a classic, it’s a surprise Willie Nelson didn’t write it himself and Telisha sings it with a broken heart stuck straight in that whiskey soaked Virginia voice of hers. The songwriting is top notch, the production suits it perfectly, inflects the beauty with scratches and creaks like a front porch in Poor Valley, where there’s a pie cooling and an old ’35 Gibson leaning against the broken screen door.” Amy Speace
