REVIEW

The following is an excerpt from a review in the April, 2003 issue of Bluegrass Now. The review was written by Bob Mitchell.

The title track sets the tone for a fine project featuring a soothing voice filled with honesty and emotion. Williams takes the lead vocal on 10 of 14 selections. She is at her best on two Lynn Morris covers, "Don't Tell Me Stories," and "Love Grown Cold." Her husband, Johnny, the band's guitarist, assumes lead on an uptempo "What You Gonna Do," an excellent gospel trio, "Stormy Waters," and a song he wrote, "Mountain Way of Life," as a tribute to his "good, honest, hard-working" father.

The most powerful tune is the heart breaking waltz "I Ought to Know You," a poignant story about a mother who no longer recognizes her child because of Alzheimer's. Other favorite selections include "Things I Wish I'd Said," a profound song Jeanette wrote after losing her father to cancer, and a swinging gospel duet, "Feeling Mighty Fine."
