The song "waiting on June" saved my life. Genuinely. I was deep in depression, drinking, drugs etc. This song made me stop in my tracks, I hope to find my own June. Such a well sung song and feelings so deep they touch souls, even my rotten soul. Thanks for this. Thanks for me finding this. Hope I'm in the right track. Thanks.

I’m sitting here and the tears are running down my face after spending a week with my elderly parents, who are in fear of what the next phase of life will look like for them. I have a much deeper understanding of what they are clinging to after hearing this amazing song. A gift, 🙏 ❤️

I'm ashamed to say I knew nothing of Holly Williams 'til the NPR podcasts dropped into my aural sphere. I was immediately taken aback and cried on hearing "Waiting on June". Beautiful melodies, with lyrics of simplicity and understatement, which capture what all of us feel. Universal yet unique.

A whole lot of "Cryin' in the Beer". Her songs are all sad and depressing. It might be great therapy for Miss William's to sing this set. But must we endure it? a real DRAG, if you ask me. Ok, she has a pleasant enough voice. Playing is pretty good also. But why must every single song be so sad and depressing? How about some EMOTIONAL VARIETY! I promise you, the audience will tune out real quick if that's all Miss Williams has.

John Stuart Ha, the only real "DRAG" here is you. No one's making you listen, man. Funny that the joyous, happy one is the first to post a negative comment. We're all lovin' it. Her music is beautiful and poignant. If you can't appreciate it go listen to Taylor Swift.
