'~ Billboard Weather Report South Carolinian Jack Williams, guitarist/singer/songwriter/storyteller, is outstanding among a handful of artists who - in skill, depth and integrity - stand head and shoulders above the many performers flooding today's folk circuit. Among acoustic guitarists he is near-legendary. Having avoided the compromises of the commercial music industry during his 45+-year professional career, he prefers touring 'under the radar', playing concerts, large and small, week in, week out, from the sheer love of music and performing. Jack is now a sought-after artist on contemporary acoustic - or "folk" - music stages. From his acclaimed appearances at the Newport, Boston, Philadelphia, Kerrville and other Folk Festivals, his musicianship, songs, stories and commanding presence established him as an uncommonly inspiring and influential performer. Jack has has six CDs of original music on the Wind River (Folk Era) label including his exquisite new album, LAUGHING IN THE FACE OF THE BLUES (and a single 'O, Chain Lightnin'', with sales benefiting victims of Hurricane Katrina.
