Stefan on Dar Williams' Release

By Waldo Jaquith
According to the official website of songstress Dar Williams, her February album, The Beauty of the Rain, includes a guest appearance by DMB bassist Stefan Lessard. A series of other well-known musicians appear on the disc, notably John Popper, Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck and John Medeski. Williams, not generally known as a collaborator, said in an interview that "it can be a little lonely sometimes being a girl with a guitar; I wanted to reach out into the world and see what else was going on." 01/08 Update: Thanks to Christina for pointing out that all of the albums tracks can be heard on Dar Williams' site, including "The World's Not Falling Apart" and "Farewell to the Old Me," the two songs on which Stefan appears.
