FROM Clint Higham, Exec. VP Morris Management Group, Managing – Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich
“The most soulful female vocalist since Wynonna. Rachel Williams possesses all the qualities of a major star in the making.”

FROM country.about.com
Bottom Line:
This is an album with mass appeal. If you like country, rock, singer/songwriter music, and even pop music you should be pleased with this one. Rachel Williams has come a long way from her debut album and she's only gotten better throughout the years. Buy her album and see for yourself. She has really outdone herself with this one. There is a heavy singer/songwriter vibe since she wrote or co-wrote twelve of the songs. Some other notable co-writers include Catherine Britt, Karleen Watt, and Rachel Proctor.

FROM Chuck Dauphin, Music News Nashville
I have lost count as to how many albums I have reviewed over the past seven years. When it comes to independent (or for that matter, major) labels and new artists, you usually have to grade on a curve. Usually, there will be something you have to overlook. Either the vocal won’t be mixed together with the instrumentation, or the lyrics will be strong…but the vocal won’t…..That is not the case with Rachel Williams.
There haven’t been many instances of an artist being 100% ready for the big time with their first release, but trust me….Rachel Williams is one of those stories just waiting to happen. There is nothing second-rate, or nothing that she has to apologize for on this album. As the current hip phrase says, “It’s all good!”
I could keep writing…..but I would probably run out of adjectives….Rachel Williams is just good….period!

FROM International Country Music Database
In all, this is a wonderful sophomore CD from a young artist who clearly has the talent to be in this business for a long time. If you're not familiar with Rachel Williams, get this CD today and say "hello"!

FROM Captain Bobby Byrd & Uncle Bill Hughes
Cat Country 93.9 Athens, Tennessee
We’ve always thought that it’s just a matter of time before everyone else discovers what we’ve known for some time: Rachel Williams is a star, with one of the biggest voices in the business. We play her music almost as a public service to our listeners. Judging by the phones, we’re doing the right thing.

FROM Karen Staley Hit Songwriter/recording artist/producer "The first time I saw Rachel Williams perform I was blown away. Having been to every kind of showcase known to man over my twenty-plus years in Nashville I am not easily blown away. What struck me more than her stellar pipes and great song selection was her poise on stage in between songs. She is more than just a good singer...she is an honest to goodness entertainer ! The ease in which she engaged the audience was something many big artists don't even have, let alone someone barely past twenty. Rachel possesses the pipes of a young Wynonna with the instant likability and personal connection of someone I used to perform onstage with... Reba. In short, she has what we in the biz call "The X Factor"... that intangible quality that separates an artist from the sea of other great singers and performers out there. It's why Rachel isn't going to just be successful, it's why she's going to be a star."

FROM Wood Newton (Bobbie Sue , Twenty Years Ago) “When you hear Rachel Williams sing, you know you are hearing a future star. She's got everything it takes and more. As a songwriter, I would love to hear her sing any of my songs.”

FROM Hoss, Music Director
WKKY 104.7
Geneva, OH 44041


“We are loving Rachel Williams new CD here at WKKY in Geneva, Ohio. I have decided to add at least two of the songs to our playlist, the sassy "Firestarter" and the introspective "The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving." Rachel Willliams has reached a new personal high in song writing and performance on her new CD, "Lonely At The Bottom." This hard working, incredibly nice young lady has now elbowed her way into today's country music scene. How is our audience responding? After just a few plays we are already getting requests for more Rachel Williams.”

FROM Stewart Harris (Hit Songwriter, No One Else On Earth- Wynonna) “I’ve seen many talented people come through the hallowed gates of Nashville. Rachel Williams however, is one of those rare diamonds that appears once in a long while. Her gifts and talents as an artist and writer can’t be described on the page. She is a must see.”

FROM John Dotson, APA Artist Management

“I don’t remember the last time I saw someone at this point in their career that was as mature a performer and sure of their instrument as she was. I take that back. I do. It was a little group called Alabama I saw in Myrtle Beach, SC, in 1980, just after they signed to RCA Records.
She is as strong a talent, as confident of what she is saying and how she is saying it and has as much an appeal to the rank-and-file country fan as anyone I have ever seen.”
