Lady Sings the Blues

Vocalist Sherri Williams in performance at CFAC.

Vocalist Sherri Williams talked about the impact of music on her family.

We saw five dynamic ladies participate in the Women in Music series last night at the Community Folk Art Gallery (CFAC). The featured vocalist was Sherri Williams.  Her set, complete with a visual slide show, reminded us how much our relationship to music has changed in terms of sharing and appreciating songs. Unlike today’s personal device/social media/digital download environment, back in the day we often listened to music as families, and did our own version of liking and sharing.  One particular cut Williams remembered hearing through her uncle’s collection was “For the Love of You” by the Isley Bros.  Her rendition of that classic, with Jeff Houston on guitar and Travis Reed on keys, ushered in a sweet wave of nostalgia that felt like a late summer cookout.
