AOTW / John R. Williamson


John R. Williamson reminds of me sitting back in a coffeehouse and just listening to the creativity flow. His folk-infused songs are haunting and progressive. Couple that with his raw, intimate voice, and it all adds up to something wonderfully unconventional. Grammy Award-winning producer T Bone Burnett had this to say about John: "John R. Williamson is a music artist. He writes beautiful and haunting songs that come from a different place."

John and his band, The C'est La Vies, released their latest album, "Portable Shrine", a few years back and it showcases the purity of their music perfectly. Head on over to CDBaby to purchase the album. Also, for all our SoCal readers, you can catch John and the band at Zephyr in Pasadena this Saturday night (11/21) at 7:00pm! Visit MySpace.com/JohnRWilliamsonandTheCestLaVies for more information.

Thanks so much for choosing John this week. I have been listening to him for many years. Perfect music for a lovely afternoon of reading and painting.

Check out his site for songs and writings.
