Christian Williams writes dark country/folk music inspired by the nature and history of the American prairie. A trusty old Martin guitar, banjo and lonesome baritone are the foundation for his tales of mortality, love and the unknown.
“Built with Bones” is the work of a true loner. Williams wrote all of the words and music, played all of the instruments, recorded and produced the final mix in his bedroom studio and even printed and stamped the CD’s himself. He hasn’t driven away all of his friends, though, as Paul Rhyne and Cale Thibaudeau contributed their haunting artwork and photography to the album.

An outstanding collection of Western Folk ...
author: Sepiachord.com
Christian Williams' second CD, Built with Bones, is an outstanding collection of Western Folk. It takes us on a ride deep into the Badlands of Americana that is so fraught with darkness, that the pilgrimage trims all the fat from country music. Have no worries, though. Williams' voice and storytelling are strong enough to support us on the journey. Christian's baritone isn't thick, but it is so solid that even when it trembles it can support the world, much less this album's thirteen campfire tales.

A dark, spooky work from a true storyteller ...

True gothic American storytelling
author: Slackeye Slim
"'Built With Bones' is a trip deep into the prairie where the forces of good and evil duel through the details of each song's haunting and melodic beauty. Christian has a firm understanding that without evil, there can be no good and vice versa. The song titles read like short stories, and each song delivers its promise of true gothic American storytelling, the old-fashioned way."

Reminds you of the original Hank Williams
author: Smother Magazine
"I thought I had heard of it all when there was country fused with hip-hop. Now gothic rock meets country head on. Christian Williams writes Southern flavored music inspired by gothic literature, dark foreboding thoughts of love, and the Book of Revelations. His music is stripped down acoustic folk that reminds you of the original Hank Williams. Old-time country pop is a lost art form and I’m glad to see a young man bringing it back."
