BEST OF 2009
�AOL’S THE BOOT- Top Country Albums of 2009, �3 Holly Williams,
'Here With Me' ; Standout Song: 'Alone'Knowing she's the granddaughter of Hank Williams and that her dad is Hank
Jr. won't tell you much about Holly Williams as a songwriter, except that
you can assume (quite correctly) that she knows what she's doing when it
comes to crafting real, close-to-the-heart slices of life that will stick
with you after a single listen. Go ahead and try to get through 'Mama' or
'Without Jesus Here With Me' without tearing up -- we dare you.ThatNashvilleSound- Top Ten Albums of 2009,
4 Holly Williams- Here
With Me- It’s almost impossible to disconnect the Williams legacy
from this new young artist. What she brings to the table is much of her
grandfather’s touch with a song. Her voice, while beautiful, has a unique
ability to convey the nuances of feeling including sadness, genuine hurt,
joy and disappointment. It’s a very emotional sound- most notable through
her slower and quieter songs. This emotive songstress channels the very
best of her musical legacy on nearly every song- drawing the listener in
with some of the best melancholy textured ballads released this year. Each
song has roots to her soulThatNashvilleSound Top 50 Songs of 2009, 22 “Without Jesus Here With
Me”, 28 “Keep The Change”, 41 “Three Days In Bed”, 50 “Let Her Go”NASHVILLE SCENE-Top Country Albums of 2009, Here With Me-Intensely personal and intimate, yet buoyed by flashes of
a wide-open and playful personality, Williams’ second album amps up the
twang that comes natural to someone born into country music’s most mythic
family. But her strengths come from the casual way she deals with the most
human of subjects, be it her relationship with her parents, her spiritual
renewal after a catastrophic accident or running away for a few hedonistic
days with a new acquaintance.

BEST OF THE DECADE
�The9513.com- Top Country Albums of
the Decade- 96, Here With Me - It would seem almost an injustice to not have at
least some form of the Williams family legacy present on this list.
Fortunately, Here With Me ensures that legacy extends a third
generation. Autobiographical and personal, Here With Me–which features
some of the best melancholy textured ballads released in the aughts–is 40
minutes inside the mind and heart of Hank’s granddaughter. — Ken Morton,
Jr.

“Keep The Change”
"I'm such a blatantly honest person," says Holly Williams, "and I love to listen to an album and think the artist is truly sharing their life with me. I like to feel like I'm really getting in and knowing that person."With her debut album Here With Me for Mercury Nashville, Holly has succeeded in creating the type of album that would easily find a place among the works of her favorite artists. Penning the majority of the album's 11 tracks, Holly writes with piercing clarity on situations plucked from her life. While these songs come from extremely personal places, Holly's emotional honesty and commanding vocal performances give Here With Me a timeless quality that only gets richer on repeated listens.Click Here To Read More
