American Songwriter Live: Holly Williams

Singer-songwriter Holly Williams has quite the musical pedigree. Her granddad is Hank, Sr., her dad is Bocephus. And that’s a lineage that gets talked about – a lot. On her new album, The Highway, Holly pays tribute to her mom’s side of the family in the song “Waiting On June,” which tells the love story of her Louisiana grandparents, who were together “through a war and four babies.”

    Saw Holly and Chris do this in London, never heard it before an cried first time! The album is amazing, and this is the best one on the album! I walk around humming it all the time … but not as well. I can’t imagine a greater complement than having people all over the world singing about me after I’d gone. Well done Holly and Chris! Thanks
