Description
Kathryn Williams & Withered Hand - Wilson Williams
Prolific singer-songwriter Kathryn Williams and recently reinvigorated
troubadour Dan Willson (aka Withered Hand) have announced a
collaboration album, ‘Willson Williams’.
‘Willson Williams’ witnesses the meeting of two likeminded musicians who’ve built their
successful, independent careers on inventive folk instrumentation, reflective and sincere
lyricism, and not a small amount of self-deprecation. Their modest confessionals, written
poetically and over nostalgic and atmospheric melodies, are as relatable as ever, and
together they find new ways to unpack their feelings.
One overarching theme on the album is that of grief, when the writing process saw them
both, tragically, in mourning for separate loved ones; Dan for his brother Karl and his
friend Scott Hutchinson of Frightened Rabbit, and Kathryn for her friend, comedian and
BBC Radio 4 presenter Jeremy Hardy. They explain that “the initial premise and starting
point for us was discussions and open conversations on bereavement. We’d both recently lost friends who were also in the public eye, and we talked about the strange place between personal loss and the communal grieving of a public figure”. Contrastingly, the music on ‘Willson Williams’ is warm, heartfelt and even cheerful, an opposing nature that is completely in keeping with both their humour and candidness.
