Landon Williams, of Rye, Colo., has released his debut EP and it is outstanding. Coming from a smaller town in Colorado that hasn’t had the chance to produce very many musicians, Williams has something impressive to offer to music enthusiasts. He put together a self-titled, 4-song, EP that I think people will be fascinated with and will get Williams some well-earned exposure.
Williams is similar in style to John Mayer and can also play the guitar very well. They both have a bluesy style that is simply smooth and relaxing in every aspect. Between the smooth guitar riffs and strong vocals, he managed to put together some stuff that is musically inclined. It is definitely hard to put together lines of melody and still maintain a tonal structure like Williams did, but that’s what will separate him from other similar musicians.
Songwriter, singer and guitar player are all the titles that Williams has given himself on his most recent project, so when you finally hear his EP, just keep that in mind as the musical talent unfolds before you.
The stand-out track on the EP would have to be “My Heart.” It’s smooth while maintaining energy and that’s hard to do. The vocals are crisply laid out over the the drums and guitar. You can get a brief taste of Weaver at the Loom, for those who know who that is. It’s an awesome track that comes at you in waves, so this is the track that I suggest everyone to check out.
This EP is just a small amount of the music that Williams will have to offer this next year and the anticipation is already building. Once you get a taste, you’ll want more. Williams’ music can be found on his website at landonwilliamsmusic.com or you can find his music through the iTunes store. - The Pulp

Bio
When one
thinks of a singer/songwriter/guitar virtuoso these days, it's hard not to
think of anyone else besides John Mayer. Add to that sonic soundscape, the
aching vocals and harmonic pleasantries of Chris Martin (Coldplay) and you've
basically accounted for the majority of the most influential and commercially
viable (not to mention critically acclaimed artists) of the 21st century.
Enter Landon Williams, an
equal parts concoction of Mayer-shredder, and Jack Johnson purveyor of
nonchalance with the Brit-Pop tendencies of Mr. Martin. Williams, however,
brings a whole new spin on the singer-songwriter/shredder aesthetic by adding
an insouciant edge to his overall sound that is decidedly more in line with the
abandon that a few retro-indie artists have brought to the popular canon.
Landon Williams is an artist who sees the future while waxing nostalgic, and
that is truly a rare commodity. All you have to do is give his new-wave Opus
no. 1 "My Heart" a spin to see how it feels to breathe in the Police and
exhale Jack Johnson. Or perhaps you might taste the Brit-pop concerto,
"Goin' North" for a dash of One Republic, followed by a main course
of The Verve and Kanye West channeling Stevie Ray for dessert. MUSIC FANS IS
THIS: pop
in the buds, turn it up, sit back, and vibe with the leader of a new tribe
called chill.
