Endless prairies and ocean waves; long drives and highway expanse; dancing, smoke, sex, and physical desire – the core images of Jess Williamson’s new album Time Ain’t Accidental revel in the earthly and the carnal. After a protracted breakup with a romantic partner and longtime musical collaborator who left Williamson and their home in Los Angeles at the start of the pandemic, the album’s reckoning with loss, isolation, romance, and personal reclamation signals a tectonic shift for Williamson as a person and as an artist: from someone who once accommodated and made herself small to a woman emboldened by her power as an individual.

Indie country singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jess Williamson stops by The Barns with lyrics that ignite the hopeless romantic in all of us. Williamson is one part of the duo Plains (I Walked With You A Ways) with Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield. For her fifth solo album, Time Ain’t Accidental, the Texas-born and Los Angeles-based artist “relishes in the stormy chaos of love” (Medium). Described as a “road trip record full of open space and vivid detail” (Pitchfork), you won’t want to miss her heartfelt anthems of liberation and self-discovery.
