Tree Song (Eucalyptus Lullaby),
b. 23 December 1958, Shreveport, Louisiana, USA. This talented singer-songwriter
had her career disrupted by the onset of multiple sclerosis, which was diagnosed
in the spring of 1992. At that time she was touring with Neil Young and receiving
plaudits as a promising newcomer. She made her recording debut in 1987 (at that
time still married to Peter Case), with an album produced by Anton Fier and Stephen
Soles that surrounded her compositions with a varied background, including a sitar,
strings and horns. The most notable accompaniment came from an award-winning Donn
Pennebaker video. Williams' second set was a considerable improvement and revealed
her to be a writer of depth by removing some of the extraneous instrumentation.
Instead, co-producer Michael Blair (multi-instrumentalist with Elvis Costello
and Tom Waits) focused on Williams' childlike, rural spirit and inspired lyrics
with simple, effective song constructions.
