  "An adept acoustic guitarist and extremely capable in the vocal and songwriting departments…. Difficult to categorize, Williams blends folk, country, jazz, and blues in a somewhat gentler Ry Cooder manner….
Pieter Hofmann, DIRTY LINEN

Kevin Oliver of NO DEPRESSION described Jack’s music as
“…a musical style that’s equal parts folk storytelling and Tin Pan Alley songcraft, delivered with the impassioned soul of an old blues singer.”

"...a gentle but compelling poetic and musical vision"
Billboard Weather Report

".... his artistry... is nothing short of amazing. Dazzling picking, expressive voice, unique and interesting songs. He is a showman in the best sense of the word and just wowed our audience. I think they would have followed him anywhere."
Rich Warren, WFMT "Midnight Special", Chicago IL

"....pure emotive guitar-picking, weathered sliding baritone / tenor in deftly-crafted songs.... Williams is instantly endearing."
- Stephen Ide in Dirty Linen

If there is anyone not familiar with Jack's incredible songwriting and prodigious performance skills, my sympathies to you. A Jack Williams show is a slam-dunk win-win-win for all. One of the most enlightened and entertaining performers I've ever encountered. (and a nice guy, too!) 
Dave Humphreys, Two Way Street Coffee House, Downers Grove IL

"...soulful singer and a superb guitarist..."
Dick Weissman, Folk Musician, in his book Which Side Are You On

"...an American Treasure"
- Mickey Newbury

"...one of the strongest guitar players in contemporary folk."
- Sing Out!

"Jack is the best guitar-player I've ever heard."
Peter Yarrow
(of Peter, Paul & Mary)

"...one of my all-time
favorite pickers."
Tom Paxton

Susan Harrison band: With Tom Tomas, Larry Lowis and Willie Phipps.
