The beautiful sophisticated Holly Williams is set to release her third album The Highway, on Georgina Records Feb. 5, 2012. Her new album, co-produced by Charlie Peacock, is her first independent release. The album will feature an array of guest vocals from Jackson Browne, Jakob Dylan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Dierks Bentley.

William’s was hailed by ‘American Songwriter’ as a “sophisticated, introspective singer/songwriter” and as having “a lovely, ever-on-the-verge-of-breaking voice and knows how to sell a song” by ‘The Washington Post.’

“I think every artist has their coming of age record,” says Williams. “This one definitely feels like mine in that there was such a shift with me through the process of this record. It was completed in exactly nine months to the day, feeling somewhat like a birth. These songs really brought a focus into my life personally. Since the last record, I turned 30, my grandparents are gone, I’m married now, I’m keeping doggies and gardens alive, I have a clothing store, I have a husband on tour with a huge rock band, so there’s a lot to keep up with. But the highway came calling and I suddenly had this serious longing for the road, the fans, the storytelling, and the life in that living. I’m ready to get back to those wheels and play these songs for everyone.”

Williams is the daughter of Hank Williams, Jr. and half sister of the legendary Hank Williams III, she released her debut album The Ones We Never Knew (Universal South) in 2004. The follow-up Here With Me (Mercury Nashville) was released in 2009, earning high praise from The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, People, Entertainment Weekly, American Songwriter and NPR Weekend Edition Sunday.
