Most country artists talk about their long journey to Nashville, but Holly Williams was born and raised in country music's capitol. Most country artists speak of some music-loving elder who almost made it, but Holly Williams comes from country royalty. Hank Williams was her grandfather, Hank Jr. her dad, and Hank III her half-brother. Despite all this -- and a couple songs she wrote at the age of eight -- Holly wasn't interested in music growing up and dreamed of a career in modeling. Hank Jr. and Holly's mother had separated when Holly was young, but in her teen years her father was taking his daughter to more of his shows. Perhaps that is why at the age of 17 Holly finally tried playing one of the guitars in the house. Within a week she was writing introspective, somewhat dark, songs. After graduating high school, she gave herself a year to try the music business before she would settle for college. Three months in Los Angeles to study piano, write songs, and attend concerts by the Rolling Stones, Elliott Smith, and Neil Finn helped her focus. Her songs had landed in the hands of Ron Sexsmith, who immediately offered Williams a support slot on his European tour. By 2003 she had recorded and released her own EP, toured with Billy Bob Thornton, and signed with Universal South. The label issued her debut full-length, Ones We Never Knew, in October of 2004. A year later Williams was dropped by her label and later involved in a serious car accident which required months be devoted to recovery. She returned in 2009 with the album Here with Me and its hit single "Keep the Change." Both were released by her new label Mercury.
