  • Honest blues straight from the soul
    author: BluesBunny

    Reminiscent of the late, great R L Burnside, K M Williams is a preacher from Texas who, well, sings from the heart. Decidedly lo-fi with prominent hiss, hum and distortion on many tracks, this album is just one man with his guitar and an occasional drum machine. Unlike R L Burnside however, he sings with an almost palpable feeling of sorrow. There is a real hypnotic effect to the tracks that belies their simple production. It is an album of honest performances with particular highlights in “I Need the Lord” and “Street Corner Blues”.

  • This guy needs to be known
    author: Brent

    I've never heard raw blues with gospel like this guy plays. You can shake like crazy, and then come down to earth, and hold the hand of the Lord.

  • Tough and Uncomprising Downhome,Roughshod Blues
    author: Mick Rainsford "Blues in Britian"

    The set opens with"Take a Swing with Me",Williams doom-laden vocals are droned over a compelling hynotic guitar riff;"Want You to Love Me" with poignantly moaned vocals and Tantalizing guitar riff based on "Good Morning Little School Girl"."Good Rocking Daddy" a stomping,North Mississippi Hill Country blues where Williams barely discernible falsetto vocals enhance the memerizing quality of the keening slide and fretwork."Holding on to My Lord's Hand" is a downhome slab of Blind Willie Johnson/Blind Willie McTell inspired Gospel. If You love the Blues to be tough,uncomprising and unadultered then this set is for you-it's the"real deal" pure and simple-and comes unreservedly recommended(See the "Blues in Britain mag for complete review).

  • Yup, that's It Brother!
    author: Washboard

    You got it Man! This stuff is as good as you've ever been...this cd IS your best. You're bringin' Blues full circle here and keepin it at home too. And I ain't just sayin that 'cause you my partner either. This is better than even Texas Country Blues Preacher. Still your favorite "beat man", Washboard
