Girl with guitar, as ‘Promised’
A devoted fan who had taken 10 or so years off from listening to Dar Williams would probably be disappointed by her newest album. Whereas Williams’s excellent first two releases, “The Honesty Room” (1993) and “Mortal City” (1996), offered compelling collections of funny, poignant, girl-with-her-guitar, lyrically driven songs, “Promised Land,” like her other recent albums, is more poppy, more produced and less energetic.
