Sharrie Williams is a relatively young singer/songwriter who is known as the princess of rockin’ gospel blues. If you are wondering what rockin’ gospel blues is, just listen to the title track of I’m Here To Stay. You’ll hear the call and response of the blues, the exuberance of gospel and the wild abandon of rock ‘n’ roll.
    Williams was born January 3, 1965, and was raised by a family of gospel singers and blues lovers at the Daniels Heights Projects in Saginaw, Michigan. She is very popular in Europe, and up until now has not had a release on a North American label...
...By playing many styles of music on this all-original 15 track disc, Williams is hard to categorize. Many wouldn’t consider this a blues record. Naturally, a woman’s point of view comes across in the lyrics. Though they are more memorable than the melodies, both are refreshing to hear. The Wiseguys – Williams’ four-piece band – seem toned-down when compared to the stomping energy they exuberate during Williams’ rockin’ tent revival live show. I’m Here To Stay isn’t just the name of the CD; it’s a woman’s story of a tough, rough, gritty life and the determination to survive and thrive. - Tim Holek, southwestblues.com
