Another Sailors Dream
Another Sailors Dream.
Another Sailor’s Dream - Released: MARCH 7th, 2007

Hayward Williams’ “Another Sailor’s Dream” is a freewheeling, shotgun wedding of folk, blues and rootsy country rock, all filled with a gorgeous blend of ache, gristle and whiskey-toned gruffness. The album is comprised of songs that walk a perfect line between the sweet and bitter, and the sentimental and cynical, and is perfectly bookended by the opening track, “The Ballad of Benson Creek,” and the finale, Williams’ own earnest version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Thunder Road.” The eleven performances are carried out by an impressive trio of multi-instrumentalists, including accomplished singer/songwriter and co-producer Peter Mulvey (Signature Sounds Recording), Dan McMahon (Wandering Sons), along with Williams on vocals, harmonica, acoustic guitar and piano.

Hayward Williams’ second independent release (2005), produced by Peter Mulvey and featuring four stripped down, acoustic pieces written with an American Civil War theme. Built on a foundation of folk, blues, and soul Hayward's songs in performance display the raw intensity common to these forms, tempered by his own easy self-possession and wry charm.

CABIN CD SpecialUphill / Downhill
Uphill / Downhill
Uphill/Downhill - Release Date: 2005

Hayward Williams's 2005, full length debut. A Wilco-esque collision of the radio and folk idioms that combines smart hooks with deeply textured studio atmospherics. Uphill/Downhill is an impressive collection of 12 original songs that moves elegantly from heartbreak to self-examination to wonder without the self-seriousness that might ordinarily drag such wanderings down.
