    Fans of Americana, Folk, and Rockabilly will immediately gravitate toward this one. Nostalgic is the first descriptive that comes to mind regarding Marlon Williams' voice, a rare paring of vintage and fresh. It's the sort of sound that you could hear in a 50's diner, but also one that stands on it's own in the vibrant Americana resurgence that is occurring presently.

    Make Way for Love is the soundtrack to a longing gaze across a mostly empty, darkly lit bar in which two lonely strangers find someone to spend the night with. It's a meditation on love--and perhaps, at times, simply on companionship.
