Williams, whose music often focuses on social and environmental issues, has been compared to Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. She started touring in 1994 and has toured prolifically both nationally and internationally ever since. She has released six studio albums, including her most recent CD, My Better Self, plus Cry, Cry, Cry, a collaboration with Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky, as well as a live album.
