Joy Williams Venus Album Review

You might recognize Joy Williams from  a four time winning folk/rock duo called The Civil Wars. I personally have never heard of this duo before so I was excited when I got to listen to Venus to figure out just what Joy Williams is about. Williams was going through a bad time between the band's breakup, having baby, trying to save her marriage, and dealing with her Dad's cancer but she made it through it all and she's back with a great new album.

Venus is William's first solo album. You can really tell that Williams put a lot of thought and heart into her songs when you listen to the album. The album has a lot of songs that have to do with what she went through and how she grew as a person.

My favorite song off the album is Welcome Home. Her lyrics and her voice are just so powerful and inspirational. However, her first hit off the album is Woman (Oh Mama). You can check it out below:
