| · The fourth record by Tamara Williamson was engineered by former Calgarian knob-twirler Krisjan Leslie.
With dry percussion and simple yet lush guitar, Tamara Williamson’s latest record bears a striking resemblance to another Canadian songwriter – Julie Doirion. While Williamson’s low self-esteem warble gives Doirion a run for her money, the material is not nearly as heavy or depressing. The sound is masterfully fleshed out with cello, trumpet and keyboards, and as a result All Those Racing Horses is imbued with a beautiful ghostly quality.
For those not familiar with Williamson or Doiron, imagine what would happen if Beth Orton wasn’t so boring. Williamson’s subtlety and ease of delivery makes this record a real gem.
