For a whole bunch of reasons, Dreamers, the recent release from Wild Ponies, is a keeper. The collection of tunes is top shelf, the band upping their game for album their fifth album release, not an easy feat given the sonic brilliance of Radiant and the fragile beauty string band renderings of Galax. That being said, the title track is an anthem and should be heard by the vast of community of creatives on any rung of the ladder, maybe once their feet touch the floor each morning, afternoon, or evening. Wild Ponies roar into the story announcing ‘I’ve always the dreamers, ones who can’t sleep at night, they worry and they wonder, if they’ll ever get a right. Wound too loose and hold too tight but the world won’t change without a dreamer, so they whisper, work, and scream to bring a new dream into light’. The idea for the song came from a fan in Germany, asking Wild Ponies while on tour ‘Where are your dreams now?’, the band recalling that t stuck with us. Not what are your dreams, but WHERE are your dreams. Where do they live? Just in your head? In the stars? Somewhere between? Do they take up space in the people around you - community and family’.
 
 
East Nashville is homebase for Wild Ponies (Doug and Telisha Williams). Over the last twenty years, amid recording five albums, the Folk duo have hosted the long-running ‘Wild Ponies Happy Hour’ radio show on Nashville’s WSM and led 10 annual distillery tour Trail Rides for fans and friends. Politics take over the news stomping over the very real horrors of conflict. Wild Ponies remind of how war affects families in “Bury the Young” as a mother bids goodnight to a child “Love You Right Now”, completely the evening pattern as a father escorts a sleepy youngster into dreams with “Morning Come”.  Dreamers shines a spotlight on Doug and Telisha when they share the microphone for the 50’s two-part harmonies of “Hurt Your Heart”. Haunted melodies soundtrack the ominous tale in “Wind Love and Water” as Doug Williams sing a fathers love into “Heartbeat” while, backed by The Sea The Sea, Telisha Williams seduces like a siren as she walks across a dreamy soundscape when Wild Ponies exit the album on “Night Sky”.
