The songs have more of a pop sound than edgier rock or blues, yet also have hints of bluegrass, rock and country. The CD opens with my favorite song on the CD, “Helen,” a faster paced tune that probably is one of the more rockin’ tune here. Bill follows this with a surprise; a beautifully sung version of Stephen Foster’s “Beautiful Dreamer.” This song would be a strange song on many of the CDs we review here, but fits in well here and shows Bill’s versatility and vocal ability (all that a cappella singing)? “Sentimental Value” is a nice tune that shows Bills instrumental versatility as he handles the featured dobro. He shows some songwriting creativity on “Lack of Trying” by tying in the Jeopardy theme in one of the guitar lines. Two of the other highlights are the tunes “I’m Right,” another of the faster tunes which closes with a sax frenzy, and “We Parted By the Riverside,” a great tune that features Bill on guitar, mandolin and organ. My guess is that Bill Williams has been too busy over the years to put together a release of his own. He certainly didn’t need more time to develop his playing or songwriting. I’m glad he finally found the time to put out his own release!
