Editorial Reviews
Americana UK / Lynn Pettinger, Feb. 2007 http://www.americana-uk.com/auk/index.php
[9 out of 10 stars] Ahhh, where to start? In truth, its hard to put it into words; this is a fantastic record, one that's a treat from start to finish.
Product Description
Hayward Williams' "Another Sailor's Dream" is a freewheeling, shotgun wedding of folk, blues and rootsy country rock, all filled with a gorgeous blend of ache, gristle and whiskey-toned gruffness.
The album is comprised of songs that walk a perfect line between the sweet and bitter, and the sentimental and cynical, and is perfectly bookended by the opening track, "The Ballad of Benson Creek," and the finale, Williams' own earnest version of Bruce Springsteen's "Thunder Road." The eleven performances are carried out by an impressive trio of multi-instrumentalists, including accomplished singer/songwriter and co-producer Peter Mulvey (Signature Sounds Recording), Dan McMahon (Wandering Sons), along with Williams on vocals, harmonica, acoustic guitar and piano.
On this compelling debut the Milwaukee-based singer/songwriter "boasts a voice that sounds several decades older than he actually is, lending his songs of love and loss a gravity they might not otherwise possess" and "never slips into blandness or forces the quiet drama" [The Onion].

Another Sailor's DreamPut in on and just let it flow...i could listen to this record all day and not get tired of it. Hayward's voice is deep and resonant and belies his age and stature. This is a beautiful piece of art from start to finish and Hayward's songwriting talent, cannot be denied . I cannot wait to hear more from this talented individual.

This is a great album for a slow Sunday morning, or for a little peace at the end of the work day.

By Amanda (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Another Sailor's Dream (Audio CD)
NOt what I expected. Heard the song redwoods on a blog and fell in love with it, Mid-western rock song. Steady Acoustic, with an easy riff, the song Redwoods is great! The rest of the album doesn't live up to that song but a talented guy he is. Hope to see a show of his....
