The last time she rolled through Chicago on a radio tour, I interviewed Holly Williams about her new album and asked her what kind of a country songwriter she was. She said, "I am not a depressed, earth-is-falling-all-around-me songwriter." And now that she's just tied the knot, I'd say that's still very much the truth. She wed Chris Coleman in Nashville last weekend. Wearing a Vera Wang gown, she joined her husband and danced their first dance to Emmylou Harris' "I Dug Up a Diamond." Her father, Hank Williams Jr., walked her down the aisle. And Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus sang "Bless the Broken Road" for the newlyweds. All this wedded bliss will surely inspire even more of her trademark poetic musings, so stay tuned.
