So, I don't know much about Tim Williams the person, next to nothing in fact. Usually how this works is, I find someone I like to listen to, then try and learn about them so that I can sound "informed" when discussing their music. Here's what I know; he's a Brooklyn based troubadour. That's all I got. Maybe that's a poor attitude, but really it's all just trivial, what matters is what his music invokes and whether or not it's what you like. So, hopefully I can start you down the path and rest is up to you, choose your own adventure.
The first track I had was "Right All along". A mid tempo song, simple electric guitar, droning vocals with a wide range, lyrics are on point, but the thing that separates it from standard singer songwriter is the use of electronics. As if The Radio Dept. remixed the original song and this is the product. There are quite a few artists who have one song I like, I listen to that one song, with out really getting into the other songs in their catalog. Honestly, I thought that be the case with Tim Williams. But, I listened to 30 second samples, then I dropped in on the whole album, then I found myself playing the album over and over. Standout tracks are abundant; "Right All Along", "I Hit Another Wall", "Oceans", "Love Hate", etc.
