Musings of a Creekdipper

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
On the heels of her appearances at 1997's Lilith Fair tour, this long-awaited studio release (following '94s acclaimed Loose) finds one of modern pop's most distinctive singer/songwriters supported by a line-up of musicians that includes husband and former Jayhawks member Mark Olson and Wendy Melvoin & Lisa Coleman (of Prince & the Revolution fame) among others. Here Williams concocts a blend of purely American styles including country, blues, jazz, folk and more, all accompanied by her singular vocal stylings.

Williams is a rock singer, but judging from her version of Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World"--now a Microsoft commercial--she also considers herself an old-fashioned standards singer. So "Nature Boy," written by a strange naturalist '40s character named Eden Ahbez but performed smoothly by Nat King Cole, is a perfect fit for Williams's clear-but-shaky diction and rock-and-croon aesthetic. On Musings, she holds divergent styles such as funk-rock--"Train Song (Demise of the Caboose)"--and spacey folk--"Tree Song"--together with her distinctive voice. --Steve Knopper

REVIEW
At first this . album seems meandering or half-finished, but time reveals newly adventurous structures and an expanded musical palette which includes jazz, gospel, and country. [This album is] time well spent. -- What the Critics Say

[Victoria Williams] strips her music down to the bare elements: It's all about the sun, rain, food, and hummingbirds. What's truly remarkable about these songs is how they manage to radiate a sense of wonder without sounding precious. -- Entertainment Weekly
