Two spiritual songs. 'O Death' is an Appalachian dirge, recorded at my brother's house in Tugun QLD. 'O Come, O Come, Emmanuel' is an old Christian hymn for advent. It was recorded in a shack in Tallebudgera Valley, QLD.

Karl S Williams is excited to share his latest musical creation, ‘Blood To Give’. 

Produced and recorded by Matt Redlich (Holy Holy / Ball Park Music / Husky / Emma Louise), the track delivers as another taste of Karl S Williams’ exploration and passion for The Blues. “I was very happy to finally work with Matt, a producer who I have long admired,” says Karl. “He imagined a perfect sonic landscape for the song to exist within.”

Talking about the track, Karl explains “Life is hard and unkind to all of us at times, I guess I went digging for suitable metaphors for that experience. In some ways the song is also an address to an industry wherein the sensitive are shepherded inexorably toward the precipice.”

As a creative force striving towards honest, relatable blues that has the power to heal, Karl S Williams aims for his music to strike a chord with those who listen. With ‘Blood To Give’, Karl describes that “There is no malice or self-pity. It is to be played loudly and I hope that if people sing and dance along they will find that their burden is made lighter for a little while.”
