Songs of the Iron Men
the sixth album by Christian Williams
Before gas tractors plowed the fields, steam traction engines ruled the prairie. Now, the glory days of steam farming live on through the words of the men and women who experienced them firsthand. These 12 poems, originally submitted to the steam engine enthusiast magazine Iron Men Album back in the 1950s, have been unearthed and set to original music by Christian Williams. Enjoy this glimpse of a little-known chapter of American history.
"The undisputed best 'steamfolk' album you can lay your hands on." SepiaChord.com

Defiant
the third album by Christian Williams
"It moves slowly, like honey. It’s rich and strong, equal parts old-time American folk, and deep gothic country. Williams uses his music to deliver one dark narrative after another, the tales evoking Johnny Cash and Nick Cave’s fatalistic denouements."
