The latest excellent songwriter to come out of Texas, Jess Williamson is set to release her debut album, “Heart Song”, at the start of November. This week, fresh from touring Europe with Kevin Morby, Jess has shared the latest cut from it, the sublime single, “See You In A Dream”.
See You In A Dream is a attempt to write something simultaneously sad, without slipping into the cliched realm of minor chords. The track is built around the gentle tick of drums, Jess’ pained Caitilin Rose meets early Angel Olsen vocal, and the sort of beautifully twangy guitar line Roy Orbison would be proud of; and if you don’t think that sounds fabulous you’re probably reading the wrong site. Lyrically it’s a classic country ballad, a tale of someone long gone from your life who still weaves their way into your dreams. This single serves as timely reminder of just how good Jess’ upcoming album could be.
Heart Song is out November 4th via Brutal Honest.
