Fantastic vocals Beth. So expressive and sets such a clear vibe for this song. Nice production all around. Durge

An outstanding song and excellent performance Beth.

Monday Playlist week of 10/11/2021

Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

My Heart's On Fire  (Original)

This is a song to remind Christians to love everyone, not just fellow Christians.

Lyrics Black Cranberry by Glen Granthem
No I Can't Find My Way And I'm Done For Today
I Feel The Setting Sun Going Down On Me 
And I'm So Far From Home And I'm Feeling All Alone
I Can't Feel The Colors In My Skin
I Couldn't Understand I Never Had A Plan " Had A Plan "
Now I'm Out On A Limb Where My Options Are Thin
Hanging On The Edge With No End In Sight
I Need A Helping Hand There's No Place To Land " No Place To Land "
SOLO
Yeah The Waves Come Crashing In  ,  Yeah The Waves Come Crashing In
And I'm So Far From Home And I'm So far From Home  And I'm So Far from Home........................

Oh, Yeah!
Well, The Sun Comes Up
And, the Sun Goes Down
And......I'm Tired of Walking
The Streets of this Old Town
Haven't Seen You Around
Maybe I'll check at The Lost and Found
Oh Yeah, but, there's one thing
And I know it's True
Cuz', Baby, I ain't going Nowhere......
Without You
No, I ain't going nowhere 
Without You.....Yeah
That's Alright
Oh, Yeah, It's OK
Listen to what I say now
To what I say......
Cuz' The Sun Comes Up
And the Sun Goes Down
Said I'm Tired of Walking 
Around this Crazy Old Town
But, there's One Thing
And I know It's True
I don't want to be here 
Without You
No.... Without You
I Don't want to be here
Baby, Without You!

Portuguese  Translated Lyrics
Oh sim!
Bem, o sol nasce
E, o sol se põe
E ...... Estou cansado de andar
As ruas desta cidade velha
não te vi por aqui
Talvez eu vou encontra-te em achados e perdidos
Oh Sim, mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Cuz, Bebê, eu não estou indo a lugar nenhum ......
Sem você
Não, eu não vou a lugar nenhum
Sem Você ..... Sim
Tudo bem
Oh, Sim, é OK
Ouça o que eu digo agora
Para o que eu digo......
Porque "o sol nasce
E o sol se põe
Disse que estou cansado de andar
Em torno desta cidade louca e Velha
Mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Eu não quero estar aqui
Sem você
Não .... Sem Você
Eu não quero estar aqui
Bebê, sem você!

WELL, I WAS WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR…
JUST WHAT DID I FEEL?
YOU KNOW I FELT THE RAIN
IT WAS POURIN' DOWN ON ME
JUST POURIN' DOWN ON ME… OH, YEAH!  
THEN I JUMPED IN MY CAR…..
WELL, I TURNED ON THE KEY
OF COURSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START
HOW COULD THIS BE
…..HAPPENIN’ TO ME?
JUMPED THE CAR OFF
…….AS I WAS DRIVIN' DOWN THE ROAD
I HEARD A BUMPIN' SOUND
A TIRE BLEW OUT 
WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT……IMAGINE THAT?
…..WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
I REACHED FOR MY CELL
TO CALL OUT FOR HELP 
OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT 
FLAGGED A CAR DOWN
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
BLEW HIS HORN
AS THEY DROVE ON BY
(CHORUS )
WELL, I WAS HAVIN'
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
WHEN NOTHIN'S RIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
NO HELP IN SIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
OH YEAH, ONE OF THOSE DAYS
(BRIDGE AND OUT)
HAVE YOU EVER HAD 
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE
(OH…. BRING IT ON HOME, TOM!!!)
(CHORUS)

SEND THE RAIN – A Prayer
words & music by Beth Williams

The crops are in the field Lord, under your Son
In the stillness I have labored, to get my work done
Oooooh….Send the rain….ooooh…Send the rain

I pull my hat down to shade my eyes, I watch & wait
for the burning air to disappear, and the sky to break
Oooooh….Send the rain….ooooh…Send the rain

Bridge

Oh this drought makes me weary, time leaves me less wise
Oh this drought makes me weary, look down you’ll still see my eyes

Though the night falls, no relief at all, my hope remains
In the shadow of the hand that holds cool, cool rain
Oooooh….Send the rain….ooooh…Send the rain

Send The Rain - Beth Williams

A little tribute to all the pioneers of the blues. Waters , Guy , King , Vaughn , Lemon ,  

TUNED TO THE BLUES.. by Glen Granthem ( Lyrics )
A pint of rum fuels those leather veins 
Just jump aboard that old freight train
Where lost souls can all be found
Just ride the rails your blues bound
335 in a canvas case Steel strings stretched and tuned to the blues
The blues don't lie and can't be faked
Just like a lawn that needs a rake
A Hamond B3 with a Leslie cone
Full of bite when the brass is blown
In every pocket there's a silver harp
In every key and all tuned to the blues ( SOLO )
335 in a canvas case steel strings bent and tuned to the blues
Blind Lemon his match box blues 
Young Bill Broonzy taught Chicago the news
Lead Belly made a Midnight Special
Muddy Waters a true blues vessel 
Buddy Guy Albert King  Stevie Ray Vaughn and yes BB King
( SOLO )
335 in a canvas case steel strings stretched and tuned to the blues ( SOLO )
Muddy Waters Albert King Buddy Guy  the fathers of the blues

Tuned To The Blues ( Original ) with Lyrics

My Frist Track for the new album. Mixing with my new high end equipment. A song of reflection about the early music festival scene near San Francisco  where I grew up.

Freedom Free Love Free To Be Heard by GLEN GRANTHEM
Play it like you use to play it when you were young
Tearing up a fret board until you reached number one
Spend those days on the green lost in the crowd
Shoulder to shoulder as the band rocks out
Singing songs about peace and love and Smoking grass as guitars strum

Day after day the music was life 
Turntables spin all through the night
One hand on a pipe carved out of stone
All your friends felt right at home
With both hands in the air and Every face wore long hair
Viet Nam was miles away  Every song had its place
Solo
The sixties were like no other time in our life
Draft cards ,Protests , Equal rights
We were coming of age to save the world
Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard
Singing songs about peace and love Smoking grass as Guitars Strum
With Both hands in the air 
Singing Songs About Peace and Love.....

Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard ( Original ) with Lyrics

Here's a little about my journey in music!
Beth Williams is an Americana Indie Folk Singer Songwriter – Storyteller – Yodeler – Entertainer – Hippie Bohemian Cowgirl who loves to sing & make people happy with her music.  She is also an accomplished session singer managing a thriving business through the use of her own Pro Tools Recording Studio in CO, USA. Able to "fly tracks" across the internet Ms. Williams sings lead or adds background vocals on projects for clients around the world.

Three of Williams' songs have charted in BILLBOARD and CASHBOX magazines, she was nominated by the ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC as "Best New Female Vocalist of the Year" , "Best Female Performer", by the INDEPENDENT NEWS, and "Best Independent Female Vocalist" by CASHBOX. Beth's album IN THIS OLD HOUSE was Voted one of Austin's Top Albums and she was the winner of Music Austin's Best Albums Award. HUMBLE TIME RADIO SHOW nominated Beth for "Outstanding Female Songwriter" and "Outstanding Female Performance. Williams is known for writing songs that are an eclectic mix of folk, Americana, country, blues, pop and roots music. 

"Beth is blessed with a beautiful singing voice that has the dynamics to go from a whisper to the full power of cathedral bells." says Austin Americana. Jim Beal with the S.A. EXPRESS & NEWS writes "No sappy writer, no overt heartstring tugger, Williams instead is the kind of person who walks on the sunny side, uses common sense, sees the glass as half full & finds the silver lining in dark clouds"., while Buzz Marcos of TAYLOR GUITARS adds "Beth?s songs are innocent... experienced... beguiling...insightful... Her name and the title of this album should be spoken by every record reviewer in the country." Legendary producer LLOYD MAINES says "Besides the obvious, great singer and guitar player, Beth Williams bares her soul in her songs and performance. This is a brave and good thing. "


Born on Ramey Air Force Base in Puerto Rico, the nomadic life of the military led her family to Pakistan, the Philippines, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Okinawa twice, all before she turned seventeen. Beth's passion for singing and songwriting began as a child. While living on Peshawar AFB in Pakistan, she happened upon a lone GI sitting on the bleachers of a deserted baseball field, singing and playing a guitar. Beth's destiny was sealed ,and her parents bought her a $10.00 guitar at the PX when they were relocated to Okinawa later that same year. Living with her family on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa at age 15, Beth won 1st place and $75.00 at the Kubasaki High School Talent Show after performing an original composition. Her family moved to Texas at the beginning of her senior year of high school where she immediately began her musical career singing songs she'd written delighting Texas audiences, touring Central Texas, military bases and overseas.

Wanting to be an independent artist with control and the final voice in her music, Beth started her own record label, WILLOW CREEK RECORDS where there are currently 9 CD's available. Taking her artistic independence one step further she opened a small ProTools recording studio, Hill Country Recording plus Video. "I decided to learn to become proficeint in recording myself and to learn to create videos of myself for promotional purposes." 

Her reputation as a excellent vocalist and harmony singer has brought Williams clients from all over the world who send her tracks via the Internet to add backup vocals to their projects or sing lead on their demos. 

Beth Williams performs at House Concerts, Private Parties, Festivals, Faith Based Events and Listening Rooms. For bookings office@bethwilliamsmusic.com  or  visit www.bethwilliamsmusic.com
