  • About this album: Jess Williamson’s voice, the piano, the guitar, and (yes) saxophone are lovely and all, but it's her abilities as a songwriter that elevates this album to something truly special. Williams has always been more than worth a listen but her evolution here suggests someone who is ready to take things to the next level. The boys back home may worship Dylan and Townes, but when Jess Williamson looks in the mirror, who does she kinda look like? Maybe like some of those other legendary singer-songwriters that came from deep in the heart of Texas? Maybe a little like another Texas singer-songwriter who has a tribute album that appears elsewhere on this list?

  • Metacritic Score: 84 (Universal Acclaim).
