Jess Williamson
West Texas country-folk with a novelist's eye — Time Ain't Accidental turned a breakup into wide-open desert songs, and Plains put her harmonies next to Waxahatchee's.
Jess Williamson is a Texas singer-songwriter who came up around Austin and has released records including Cosmic Wink, Sorceress and Time Ain't Accidental. Her writing tends to work in long lines and specific place names, sung in a voice that slides upward at the ends of phrases, over arrangements built from acoustic guitar, pedal steel and drum machines.
In 2022 she and Katie Crutchfield released I Walked with You a Ways as Plains, a two-singer country record split evenly between their songs.
