Sealed 1987 Original. Saw Cut. Williams Wasn't Alone In Creating Her Eponymous Masterpiece, Either. A Cavalcade Of Pop And Rock Music's Elite Congregated With Williams In The Celebration Of The Varied Music On The Album. The Simple Folk Tales, Sage-Like Observations, And Just Plain Good Advice That She Writes About Are Personified By An Unbelievably Delicious Cast Of Characters Both In The Studio As Well As In Between The Lines. There Is An Undeniable Strength And Maturity In Williams' Songwriting. Like Few Artists Or Albums, Happy Come Home Reveals An Artist Fully Developed With A Style And Persona That Is Uniquely American And Arguably Irresistible. Another Musician Fitting That Description Is Van Dyke Parks -- Whose Contributions To This Disc Are Almost Immediately Evident. A Quick Rundown Of The Personnel Might Best Give An Idea Of The Direction Williams Found Herself And Her Music In, As It Was Being Somewhat Moulded By Producer Anton Fier. Among The Luminaries Are: Syd Straw, Bernie Worrell, T-Bone Burnett, Carla Bley, Peter Blegvad, And Hugh Mccracken. Their Various -- And Unspecified -- Contributions Are At Times Typical, But Never Predictable
