Endless prairies and ocean waves; long drives and highway expanse; dancing, smoke, sex, and physical desire � the core images of Jess Williamson�s new album Time Ain�t Accidental revel in the earthly and the carnal. After a protracted breakup with a romantic partner and longtime musical collaborator who left Williamson and their home in Los Angeles at the start of the pandemic, the album�s reckoning with loss, isolation, romance, and personal reclamation signals a tectonic shift for Williamson as a person and as an artist: from someone who once accommodated and made herself small to a woman emboldened by her power as an individual.
A daringly personal but inevitable evolution for the Texas-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Time Ain�t Accidental is evocative of iconic Western landscapes, tear-in-beer anthems, and a wholly modern take on country music that is completely her own. Above everything, sonically and thematically, this album is about Williamson�s voice, crystalline and acrobatic in its range, standing front and center. Think Linda Rondstadt turned minimalist, The Chicks gone indie or even Emmylou Harris� work with Daniel Lanois. Ringing boldly and unobscured, it�s the sound of a woman running into her life and art head-on, unambiguously, and on her own terms for the first time.
Didn’t know what to expect just wanted to see the iconic ballroom as was over from Ireland , anyway both the support lauren and Jess were amazing I’m a new fan of both of them ! Have a great tour Jess love and best wishes from Sinlon Ireland
