It’s difficult not to love Dar Williams.

Even though she’s built a career as one of folk music’s most engaging storytellers, she continually surprises her listeners with ever more thoughtful offerings. Consider her latest release, “In the Time of Gods.” The songs on the album may have been inspired by Greek mythology, but they speak to the heart of every man. Neither the album nor her sets is anyone’s idea of a preachy history lesson.
