It’s been out since June 2009, but you can pick up Zach Williams’ Story Time from Noisetrade for the price of sharing your email address and a tip to the artist. And Story Time is definitely worth a good tip. A grooved folk, singer/songwriter Williams lives up to the album’s title by telling great stories as he ranges from folk laureate to soulful songster. His band amply backs him up to develop that soul thing even as you can tell the songs have been pulled from days of standing alone on coffeehouse stages. Check out especially “James” and “Fears.”
