    Jess Williamson has the voice of someone who needs to be listened to, and it is a little sad, because she also has a patience with her music that must be admired, but it is not for everyone.

    Nothing overtakes Williamson’s singing and the basic keyboard and guitar accompanying elements. The songs themselves are artful creations.

    Even though many of the characters are heartbroken or wracked with anxiety, Williamson navigates modern life using timeless tropes that lend Time Ain’t Accidental an immense, gratifying confidence.
