Beth Williams In This Old House
The Quotes
Beths songs are innocent...experienced...beguiling...insightful. Whew. Im running out of adjectives. Her name and the title of this album should be spoken by every record reviewer in the country.
TAYLOR GUITARS, Buzz Marcus
Ill bet if Oprah had a Record of the Month Club, Beth Williams In This Old House would surely be on the recommended list ROCKZILLAWORLD, W.M. S.
Received Beths new CD, and you can bet Ill be giving her some spins. Her voice is captivating, songs are wonderful, and the production is superb. I like them all, but Mason Sunset was a real standout and my favorite.
KBEC Gary Barton- Music Director, Waxahachie
Beths songs are not written as much as crafted, her soaring vocals add just the right amount of electricity to each track. When you hear her psychedelic yodel-chants on Track 5, youll laugh out loud and be hooked for good.
KNBT , Bill Conner, Hill Country Hayride
I tend to find a CD that I like and just keep playing it over and over. Beth Williams In This Old House is one of those. This is a great album. COUNTRY LINE MAGAZINE, T.J. Greaney
Beth affects a soaring and sweeping vocal style...Beth is blessed with a beautiful singing voice that has the dynamics to go from a whisper to the full power of cathedral bells.
AUSTIN AMERICANA
The Beth Williams thing is strikingly different from anything else I've heard.... This songwriter does "message music", she makes the spirit soar, and I love it!!" KACQ/KCYL Radio, Ronnie Witcher, Lampasas
I love the voice of this Texas singer/songwriter from Mason, TX Very wide range and easy to listen to. Lots of feeling with a folk, bluesy, bluegrass and Americana sound.
MUSIC SCENE MAGAZINE, Roger Garza
Besides the obvious, great singer and guitar player, Beth Williams bares her soul in her songs and her performance. This is a brave and good thing. LLOYD MAINES
Beth not only writes inspiring songs, she has the voice to stop you in mid-sentence. I mean, we listened.
TEXAS HERITAGE MUSIC, Kathleen Hudson
Beth Williams has the voice of a million angels that touch deep into your heart and soul. Great Disc! We Love it !!
KFAN, J.D. Rose
On the new CD, she is at her best on the songs with a little bit of an edge. When she takes her country onto the bluesy side, that edge creates a wholeness -the dark with the light -that helps her shine as a performer
BUDDY MAGAZINE, Tom Geddie

Bio
Born on Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico, the nomadic life of the military family led folk singer songwriter BETH WILLIAMS to Pakistan, the Philippines, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Okinawa twice, all before she turned seventeen. These influences can be credited to inspiring Williams own eclectic blend of roots, Americana, country, folk, gospel, blues and pop sounds. With her engaging smile and delightfully easy going personality, Beth is :
An ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC Nominee for "Best New Female Vocalist of the Year" whose songs have charted in both Billboard and Cashbox Magazines.
Her 5th CD, IN THIS OLD HOUSE, produced by music legends LLoyd Maines and Terri Hendrix, was voted one of "Austin's Top Albums" by Music Austin.
"Best Female Performer" by INDEPENDENT NEWS,
"Best Independent Female Vocalist" by CASHBOX
"Outstanding Female Songwriter and Performance" nominee by HUMBLE TIME RADIO.
Seven of her songs have been on compilation CDs in the USA and overseas
Most recently Ms. Williams set her dreams aside as she became the fulltime caregiver for her ailing father then and at the same time undertook the task of raising her granddaughter Mozelle. After 6 years Mozelle has been reunited with her mother and her father has been reunited in Heaven with his wife, Frances. hus the traveling troubadour fun has begun again for this songwriter!
Beth's passion for singing and songwriting began as a child. While living on Peshawar AFB in Pakistan, she happened upon a lone GI sitting on the bleachers of a deserted baseball field, singing and playing a guitar. Beth's destiny was sealed ,and her parents bought her a $10.00 guitar at the PX when they were relocated to Okinawa later that same year. Living with her family on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa at age 15, Beth won 1st place and $75.00 at the Kubasaki High School Talent Show after performing an original composition. Her family moved to Texas at the beginning of her senior year of high school where she immediately began her musical career singing songs she'd written delighting Texas audiences, touring Central Texas, military bases and overseas.
Wanting to be an independent artist with control and the final voice in her music, Beth started her own record label, WILLOW CREEK RECORDS where there are currently 6 Beth Williams CD's available. Taking her artistic independence one step further she opened a small ProTools recording studio, Hill Country Recording plus Video. "I decided to learn to become proficient in recording myself and others!"
Williams is a Nashville Session Singer for Backwoods Recording Studio from her home in Cedaredge, Colorado, where she is able to receive and send wav files via the Internet. Her reputation as a excellent vocalist and harmony singer has brought Williams clients from all over the world.
A FEW QUOTES ABOUT BETH'S MUSIC:
"The Beth Williams thing is strikingly different from anything else I've heard, and I've been reviewing and playing music since way before CDs...Yes, she is a wonderful singer, beautiful voice ... But there's something more. This songwriter does "message music", she makes the spirit soar, & I love it!!"Ronnie Witcher, KACQ/KCYL RADIO
"Beth is blessed with a beautiful singing voice that has the dynamics to go from a whisper to the full power of cathedral bells." says Austin Americana.
Jim Beal with the S.A. EXPRESS & NEWS writes "No sappy writer, no overt heartstring tugger, Williams instead is the kind of person who walks on the sunny side, uses common sense, sees the glass as half full & finds the silver lining in dark clouds"
Buzz Marcos of TAYLOR GUITARS adds "Beth's songs are innocent... experienced... beguiling...insightful... Her name and the title of this album should be spoken by every record reviewer in the country."
Legendary producer LLOYD MAINES says "Besides the obvious, great singer and guitar player, Beth Williams bares her soul in her songs and performance. This is a brave and good thing."
"Beth Williams' performance at our Willow Creek Ranch House Concert can be described as mesmerizing. I believe even the birds stopped to listen. Beth was in total command of the entire evening, captivating the audience with her melodious voice, great lyrics and fantastic musicianship. Plus she's a great person." Dennis Evans, Willow Creek Ranch House Concerts
MESSAGE FROM BETH:
"I love to share my songs & would love to sing them for you!
