Doug and Telisha Williams and drummer Jake Winebrenner deliver unflinching country songs that move from easygoing swing to Crazy Horse-ish rattle-and-thump to traditional twang. Since first emerging as a folk duo a few years ago, the Williams's sound has gotten more raw, sometimes raucous, often rockin' and audiences coast to coast are getting hooked on it. Their new album, Things That Used To Shine, finds the sweet, unaffected voice of Telisha opening up about the skeletons that have haunted her closet for years. Telisha has a friendly, cheerful demeanor and band's melodies are catchy, but watch out because their songs won't let you off lightly: murder, abuse, survival. Grammy-winning producer Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams) recorded the album's 12 songs in three days, running the band's harmonies through the same pre-amps once used by the Beatles.
