The Christopher Williams concert in Seattle was amazing. His newest CD has the most beautiful lyrics yet, I think. It's full of meditative songs (somewhat like lyric poems), blended with slight narrative (storytelling), along with vivid details and images that capture the emotion of the moment. His songs are lyrically beautiful, rich with language and the use of rhyme (not always so obvious) to create cohesion. His live acoustic guitar playing and improvisation, djembe drum skills, and harmonica playing (some serious multi-tasking while playing guitar) make for a memorable concert. He plays and sings with great intensity and passion, visible in his face when experienced live. He's funny, entertaining, amicable, and friendly--a genuine good man. If you live near one of his upcoming concert cities, you should make an effort to see him. (A quick summary from a more objective source.)
