“Everything’s different now,” says Williams “It’s a different band, it’s a different studio, my voice is different. It’s like a new album.”

Besides re-recording the entire studio album, Williams and her band chose to re-record the four tracks that were not included on the original release. This Sweet Old World features new versions of “Factory Blues” “Dark Side of Life”, John Anderson’s “Wild and Blue” and the John Leventhal/Jim Lauderdale penned “What You Don’t Know”.
