FRONTIERS
1998


Robin and Linda Williams
Devil Of A Dream
Sugar Hill Records


Robin and Linda Williams are chroniclers of the American experience, and are specifically southern in their reference. They have an uncanny ability to put poetry and music together into memorable anthems for everything from the death of Hank Williams, a reprise of their "Rolling and Rambling," to the tale of life lived in the "Green Summertime."

They have co-written 11 of the songs herein with Jerome Clark including "Things I've Learned." The snappy lead off of the album features both a great chorus and melody, a trademark of the Williams writing. The only cover on the album is the Everly Brothers' I Wonder If l Care As Much." "So, It's Like This, Man" finds the Williams in an uncharacteristic talking blues mode. It works very well.
