Emerald

With Dar Williams' EMERALD, a timely and brilliant album of new songs and collaborations with friends such as Jill Sobule, Richard Thompson, Jim Lauderdale, the Milk Carton Kids, the Hooters, Lucy Wainwright Roche and her mother Suzzy Roche (among others). EMERALD will be heavily promoted in 2015, as Dar will be touring for the rest of the year. 42 North American shows! The CD is packaged in a heavy cardboard, four panel, tube jacket, with an eight panel poster-style color insert. 'Dar Williams, one of America's very best singer-songwriters. Her songs are beautiful. Some are like finely crafted short stories. They are, variously, devastatingly moving, tenderly funny, subtle without being in any way inaccessible, and utterly fresh, not a cliche or a clunker in her entire songbook.' -The New Yorker.
