October 22, 2008
Mountain Roads Recordings of Bristol, Tennessee announced today the
signing of Johnny Williams from
Danville, Virginia.
Johnny is an award winning singer, songwriter and an excellent
guitarist. He has been named Virginia State Champion Male Vocalist, PICABO Male

three of which were recorded by The Jeanette Williams Band; Rambler’s Choice,
New Classic Grass, Larry Stephenson, Special Consensus and Mark Newton have also
recorded his songs. He has also co-written with notable writers, such as Tom T.

Johnny is active in all phases of bluegrass music; he was president
of the Dan River Bluegrass Association for five years and produces many local
music events. Johnny is a regular member of Big Country Bluegrass and supports
and plays with his wife, Jeanette Williams whenever he can.
Mountain Roads Recordings was formed by Karl and Gail Cooler in
order to focus on the unique sounds that originate in the mountains and Johnny
is a natural fit for our company. Johnny is one of the finest bluegrass
musicians and songwriters and Mountain Roads Recordings is excited to be
associated with him.
