Alex Williams at Texan Theater

Alex Williams is a part of a neo-traditionalist country music that surfaced in the wake of some success in the early 2010s. Like Cody Jinks, Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson, and Sturgill Simpson, Williams uses the outlaw country of the ’70s as a primary text, finding his own voice within the music of Nashville renegades like Waylon Jennings and Texas mavericks like Jerry Jeff Walker — a skill that’s apparent on his 2017 debut Better Than Myself and continues today with a lot of his new songs that will be on the new album coming soon.
