New Roads Ahead

About

Roy Williams's voice works in tandem with the song’s harmonica and pedal steel guitar, coexisting in a curiously easy manner, like gulls floating carefree over turbulent water. An acoustic country blues guitar lick combined with effortless slidework, he sings about the trials and tribulations of a fresh start, situating it not just physically but spiritually—as a descendent of traditional folk and country’s storied lineage.
