Artist: Williams, Victoria


Pitched battle
One of the odder musical double-bills of late has to be tonight's Neko Case-Victoria Williams gig at West End Cultural Centre.

If you go by order of appearance, Case is ostensibly the headliner. But if this matchup were a boxing card, either gal is qualified to be queen of the ring. Case has youth on her side -- she's a brash, insurgent country rebel with a mane of crimson locks, more attitude than a civil servant and torchy pipes that just won't quit. But Williams has experience -- this veteran folksinger-songwriter with the Olive Oyl voice has an idiosyncratic style that's been hard to beat and has made her a fan favourite.

Non-standard gig
If ever there was a singer-songwriter deserving of an audience, it's sweet-voiced southerner Victoria Williams.

She applies fine vocal work to such standards as Until The Real Thing Comes Along, Young At Heart and the title track from her recently released new album, Water To Drink, which she co-produced.
