Brandy Williams - Mike Johnson
Is Brandy Williams still singing/recording? I cannot find anything recent about her. I know that Mike Johnson is her favorite steel player. I was hoping to find some recent material.

Good question, Tim. Brandy had that killer album Honky Tonks and Heartaches in 2013 - lotsa Mike Johnson steel. I can't see that she's had any releases since then.
Here's "Stranger Things Have Happened" from that album for anyone not familiar with her.

She may have been a member of a band called One Eyed Jack.

I believe Charlie is right. I looked her up when this was mentioned earlier and I think the band was from S Carolina. Brandy has a superb voice and should have received better recognition in the music world. Mike Johnson does his magic on the tracks making it a polished sweet country offering. If my memory serves me, she plays keyboards in the band. Well worth a listen and purchase. Available on Amazon as a download.

Charlie, looks like you are correct. She seems to be playing with that band in a saloon in SC. Sadly, from what I read on the website, the beautiful country sound that she produced with her album is not part of the current song lineup.

I think she started in pop and other genres but recorded some country and went home to roost.

She sounds like LeAnn Womack almost exactly. I suppose that was the sound for awhile...probably had to go another direction when Nashville changed sounds.
