Nazareth College
alumnus and Nashville singer-songwriter Meg Williams is a sweet goddess on the
outside and a talented, blues-rock beast on the inside, celebrating her third
full-length release since 2014. Williams brings the edge in her new,
self-affirming album, “Take Me as I Am: The Muscle Shoals Sessions,”
reflecting the ups and downs of love and life by blending traditional blues
style with a fresh country-rock format.
Singing in a twangy
voice with a rock star attitude, Williams encourages mutual respect on the
title track and “Sometimes I Need You Too,” while embracing personal
freedom and her darker, funkier side on “Little Bit of the Devil” and
“Can’t Keep Waiting on You.” Her band moves fluidly through complex
changes, keeping the listener on its toes with precise stops. “Take Me As
I Am: The Muscle Shoals Sessions” is a feel-good expression of self-love
and taking second chances.
The album release
show is on Friday, April 19, 8:30 p.m. at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. $10.292-9940. lovincup.com.
