“Williams is a strong singer-songwriter with seven albums to his name, but even by his high standards, "Every Color Blue" is a golden collection, his voice, heavy and light in one breath, emboldened by assuring church organ on "If You Want Me to Beg" and Memphis soul horns on "Paradise Springs" — and launching him closer to the Springsteen stratosphere than ever before.” - Piet Levy
“Williams is a gifted singer-songwriter, a strong solo performer as at home with a mic and a guitar as any other setting. The new album showcases his music in the hands of what sounds like a Northern version of a Stax session band.” - ANDY MOORE
“...a beautifully wrought and soulful album.” - VICTOR INFANTE
“Hayward Williams’ voice has that wonderful quality that draws people in from the next room to ask Who is that?... I will put this vocal (Fades Away) up against any track by the Great Ones, including Roy Orbison.” - Darrel Norman
“Williams didn’t just make the most of a stressful time with Every Color Blue. He also quite possibly made his best record yet.” - Tyler Maas
