"For me, unexpectedly discovering a new band is akin to getting a single onion ring in your fries or finding a forgotten sawbuck in a coat you haven't worn since the previous winter. It's windfall to be sure, but it makes you want to believe there's more where that one came from. Sadly, there are a lot more renegade onion rings out there, than stray money or new bands worth your attention. Given this, I was practically giddy (for me, at least) to stumble upon Milwaukee's The Championship sandwiched on a local bill this past weekend"

"With an understated rootsiness that recalls Townes Van Zandt, Cotton Bell achieves a warm, natural sound. Most songs were recorded in just a few takes at producer Jon Christopher Hughes’ home studio in Bay View. The sessions were deliberately loose and unscripted.
“I’m always excited about what recording live can do,” Williams says. “Depending on the mood or how you feel, it can take you in different places, and make you try things you wouldn’t normally try.”
Williams’ last album, 2007’s Another Sailor’s Dream, earned the singer some strong press in Europe, where there’s a great demand for Americana. He tries to tour there every year or so."
-- Evan Rytlewski, The Shephard Express
