Exile
MAIN STAGE ON BROAD STREET
World Entertainment Review by John Wooley -- From the
beginning of its run on the country charts in the early '80s, musicians
and singers came and went with the band, but the sound remained more or
less the same: harmony-laced pop and deceptively simple lyrics, the kind a
regular guy might sing to a girl, with danceable beats and good hooks on
the choruses.
Now, the men who were the
two original lead voices when Exile became a country-radio act have
decided to take the act back on the road. These two guys, as much or
more than anyone else in the band, were the originators of the Exile
sound. Features J.P. Pennington and Laurel County's Les Taylor.

the Williams Family today has evolved from the guitar and four part
harmonies of Vic, Lee, Jessie, and Jewel Faye, through C.A.'s songwriting
and excellent singing skills to the group that proudly carries the banner
today, original member, Jewel Faye, daughter Connie, Connie's son Kip, and
his wife, Tammy. Rounding out today's line-up is longtime group bass
player, Clifford "Corky" Orrill. As long as there has been
a World Chicken Festival, there has been a Sunday singing with the
Williams Family.
