Album Description
Guitarist and songster Warner Williams of Takoma Park MD is one of the greatest unsung heroes of the Piedmont blues an Eastern seaboard style that incorporates fiddle tunes, ballads, country and popular songs, ragtime, and gospel. With a jaunty rhythmic finger picked guitar style and an eclectic repertoire that ranges from blues to honky tonk, jazz crooning to children?s songs, Warner Williams is an old style community entertainer of national significance. He is joined by Maryland native Jay Summerour on harmonica and backing vocals. Together they conjure up an historic Piedmont duo like Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee as they make their own way on the blues highway.

Piedmont Rediscovered May 10, 2006
Warner Williams Live with Jay Summerour is an absolutely authentic Piedmont Blues album. Yes, it is hard to believe, the picture on the front is in color, and it was recorded in 2004. This is a golden nugget for lovers and collectors of authentic acoustic and Piedmont blues. Warner Williams may well be last traditional practitioner of this wonderful music, and he plays and sings with a warmth and charm that seems to emanate from his musical ancestors. Highly recommended for any lover of acoustic music.
Very good stuff from some local guys May 30, 2004

This is a very good album. I'm in the process of buying their other album 'Little Bit A Blues'. Any fans of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee or just blues fans in general would really like this CD. It is a blend of blues, country, harp, etc. Very good blend of different styles but it still maintains the essence of the blues. I'm glad to see some local dudes shine. Looking forward to their next project. Thanks...
