They&#8217;re about topics you don&#8217;t find in today&#8217;s music too often (and neither in yesterday&#8217;s music).

By now, I own all her albums. Especially her latest effort, &#8220;My Better Self&#8221; grew on me a lot. At first, I wasn&#8217;t impressed. But after seeing Dar live a couple of times earlier this year and listening to the album a bit more, I realized there are several outstanding songs on it, e.g., &#8220;Beautiful Enemy&#8221; and &#8220;Empire&#8221;. If you&#8217;re not familiar with Dar&#8217;s music, you should either check out her live album &#8220;Out There &#8211; Live&#8221; (featuring great versions of &#8220;Iowa&#8221;, &#8220;The Ocean&#8221;, &#8220;As Cool As I Am&#8221;, and &#8220;February&#8221;) or her debut &#8220;The Honesty Room&#8221; (featuring several amazing acoustic songs like &#8220;You&#8217;re Aging Well&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Dar Williams live in Venlo (April 23rd, 2006)\" alt=\"Dar Williams live in Venlo (April 23rd, 2006)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jutze.com\/images\/2006-04-23_darwilliams_mikevisceglia.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She&#8217;s a very talented singer and songwriter.
