Today, Dar Williams rings in the holiday season with a cover of the classic Richard Thompson tune, “I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (Santa Version).”
Listen to "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (Santa Version" HERE.
On her 13th album, Hummingbird Highway, released earlier this year on Righteous Babe Records, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes.
