"I will come for you" by Randall Williams
Randall left the world of classical music
largely behind, preferring to be with people than in front of them. Travel
stories surface regularly in his songs, as do other languages and cultures.
It's
Randall's voice you hear first. Thoughtful words seeping through a
mellow baritone allude to the years of arias and oratorios that it took to finally
ditch the bow tie in deference to the six-string and a button-down shirt.
You'll hear his right hand pop and bass-funk-thunk its way through songs - songs
that could have been sweet campfire tunes in a previous incarnation until they
were thrown to the muse of rhythm. There's still plenty of room for smooth finger picking,
but it has to get around the tuneful taste for groove and color.
Color like the rich chords of a dozen alternate guitar tunings makes sense,
at least as much as three capos at a time. Six strings form a musical clothesline
hanging songs from a life of travel.
