Front Porch

2019 release. Joy Williams is a singer-songwriter from Santa Cruz, CA who now lovingly calls Nashville, TN home. Formerly of four-time Grammy Award-winning Folk, Country and Americana duo The Civil Wars, Joy recorded Front Porch with producer Kenneth Pattengale of The Milk Carton Kids. The album features twelve songs and represents a new chapter in Williams career, who recorded the album in Nashville during the pregnancy of her second child. She reflects, There is an energy that is very creative in having a baby. It gives a sense of urgency on top of all the creative energy. Cellularly, your body is experiencing something really different. Everything you are feeling is elevated. And you have a time-stamped sense of urgency.
