Davey Williams CD Release Concert at Crestwood Coffee 1/10/09
I’ve seen Davey Williams play dozens and dozens of times. I’ve had the honor of playing with him even in the past. He’s internationally known for his unique guitar improvisation. Google Davey Williams’ name and you’ll find tons of information on him.
Williams’ new CD Antenna Road is mind-boggling. But that is for a forthcoming review on this site. His performance for the release of the new CD was the best performance I’ve experienced of his in years. It was wild. It was tame. It was “out there.” It was of other worlds. Yet it was so grounded and accessible. It was free spirited and fun. His stage presence was friendly and inviting. Davey Williams is in a new place with his music. He can play anything. But he chooses to PLAY everything AND anything. That is, he’s all over the place. But he comes back full circle. And that circle was so enjoyable during his new CD release performance. From noise to jazz to blues: He used “toys” and “drills” on his guitar, as well as playing traditional jazz and other genres. Astonishing!!!!!!
