Chanteuse
Country US née le 12 Mars 1981 à Nashville (Tennessee). Holly Williams est la
fille de Hank Williams Jr et la
soeur de Hank Williams III. Et bien
sur, la petite fille de Hank Williams.
Most
country artists talk about their long journey to Nashville, but Holly Williams
was born and raised in country music's capital. Most country artists speak of
some music-loving elder who almost made it, but Holly Williams comes from
country royalty. Hank Williams was her
grandfather,
Hank Jr. her dad, and
Hank III her half-brother. Despite all this -- and a couple songs she wrote
at the age of eight -- when growing up Holly wasn't interested in music, and
dreamed of a career in modeling.
Hank Jr and Holly's mother had separated when Holly was young, but in her
teen years her father was taking his daughter to more of his shows. Perhaps
that's why, at the age of 17, Holly finally tried playing one of the guitars in
the house. Within a week she was writing introspective, somewhat dark, songs.
After graduating from high school, she gave herself a year to try the music
business before she would settle for college. Three months in Los Angeles to
study piano, write songs, and attend concerts by the Rolling Stones, Elliott
Smith, and Neil Finn helped her focus. Her songs had landed in the hands of Ron
Sexsmith, who immediately offered Williams a support slot on his European tour.
By 2003 she had recorded and released her own EP, toured with Billy Bob Thornton,
and signed with Universal South. The label issued her debut full-length, Ones We
Never Knew, in October of 2004. A year later Williams was dropped by her label
and later involved in a serious car accident that required months of recovery.
She returned in 2009 with the album Here with Me and its hit single, "Keep the
Change," both released by her new label, Mercury. The album was critically
lauded, but she parted ways with the label after touring in support of it.
Williams began running her own clothing store in 2007. She took a couple of
years off from recording to get it running. Then she turned 30, and married her
guitarist, Chris Coleman. When she decided to record again, she opted to do it
herself. The Highway is a self-financed and self-released offering on Williams
and Coleman's Georgiana Records label. Produced by Grammy-winner Charlie Peacock,
the 11-song set features guest appearances by Jackson Browne, Jakob Dylan,
Dierks Bentley, and Gwyneth Paltrow. A year in the making, it was released
in early 2013.
