Deep Blues Festival 2009 – Rev. K.M. Williams, TX
“I am known as the Texas Country Blues Preacher; an actual ordained Minister that is also a Master of Texas Country Blues/Spirituals and Boogie Music” – online bio
“Gospel and the blues have long had a contextually fractious but musically compatible relationship. That truism is personified by the Rev. Kelvin Mark Williams, whose message rises up from the pulpit of his Dallas/Fort Worth Holiness Church ministry yet comes delivered in the raw, primal, intense blues historically found in the Mississippi Delta and rural Texas. Playing a homemade single-string cigar-box guitar, often with a slide, he channels the musical spirit and styles of John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Bo Diddley, and Texan Lightnin’ Hopkins. When I Rise is a low-down blues album and a damn good one at that.” - Jay Trachtenberg – Austin Chronicle – Texas Platters
