Jack Williams is an artist for all seasons...a South Carolina-based 40-year veteran of the road...a ray of moonlight on the lost highway. He is a joyously reckless performer who only knows to go where his heart says go. His is music born at the meeting ground of the traditional and the contemporary... original songwriting and performance drawing deeply from the eclectic well of our musical heritage.

Peter Yarrow (of Peter Paul & Mary) said
"Jack is the best guitar-player I've ever heard".
Mickey Newbury calls him "An American Treasure"
