Rachel Williams likes her country music with generous helpings of straight-ahead slow-burners, big rock hooks and Motor City-bred rhythm and blues.

And it just so happens that the Michigan-born singer has the pipes to straddle the genre-bending territory between southern-fried twang, heartbroken balladry and chugging, bottom-heavy grooves. With Lonely At the Bottom- her second full-length album -Williams unites the styles she loves in a potent and mature artistic statement.

Williams' focus on songwriting has begun to pay off in a big way as she's logged co-writes with a host of well-respected writers, from Dave Berg, who scored number hits with Reba McEntire and Rodney Atkins, to Lisa Carver, who has had cuts with Sugarland, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, and Julie Roberts.
