provocative, always compelling. Somehow Williams manages to marry a childlike sense of wonder (“once in a while you open up just like a child, and see things brand new”), with an engaging portrait of the underbelly of creation (“she lived on a curve in the road, in an old tar paper shack/ on the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks”). It comes as no surprise that her name is not a household one - talents such as hers resist easy packaging. A benefit album released in 1993 (Sweet Relief, Chaos Records) demonstrated the respect in which Williams is held by her peers, as the likes of Soul Asylum, Pearl Jam, Lou Reed, Matthew Sweet, The Waterboys, and Michelle Shocked covered songs off her previous two albums. Loose (1994) found a wider audience for Williams; hopefully This Moment in Toronto will continue to find new fans for this unduly neglected songsmith. Recorded in Toronto’s Bathurst Street Theatre last March, This Moment captures Williams and her Loose band performing some of the standout tracks from her three studio albums. The Loose band are as tight as one would expect and give Williams plenty of room to dictate the pace of proceedings. Without Williams, the songs would exhibit a saccharine sentimentality worthy of the house band on the Love Boat. Williams transforms them into windows on eternity. “Waterfall,” a track taken from Loose is an ode to nature worthy of a Whitman or a Rousseau. “A flower took off of a limb and into the sky/ how was I to know it was a bird if I’d have rushed on by/ a waterfall half-full of sand falls on my head/ someone might be talking but I can’t tell what they said.” Only a scandalous transparency allows Williams to get away with such sentiments without sacrificing her gritty sense of realism. She’s one of the few pop artists who can sing about love without conjuring up images of bumper sticker hearts and “Singled Out.” Williams’ vision is at once universal and concrete. The audience is invited to participate in narratives that are particular but never parochial. The audience is invited to enter the moral world of Williams’ characters but is given no room for moralism. Musically, This Moment straddles a number of genres; brass-punctuated rock is sandwiched between folksy ditties and country twang, drippy bossa grooves give way to a big Hammond sound and sitar licks, while cabaret-style tunes (“Polish Those Shoes,” “TC”) mix with spooky tales of loners and losers (‘Graveyard,” “Crazy Mary”). Williams even finds time to improvise a song to her dog Mollie, who w an­ Victoria Williams and the Loose Band ders onto the stage in the course of the evening. It’s all there, and it’s all held together by Williams’ captivating performance. Although Williams sounds like she is This Moment in Toronto a seasoned veteran of the stage floor, she confesses mid-way through the set that this is her first tour. Mammoth Records The one shortcoming with the album is the inclusion of three covers: “Imagination,” “Smoke Gets in your Eyes,” and “Can’t Cry Hard Enough.” Each of these is more than pleasant, and especially in the case of “Imagination," suits both out of five Williams’ voice and persona. However, it seems a shame that Williams chose to look to the material of others when her own corpus is so strong. Simone Weil once wrote that it takes true genius to represent the good without making it look fake and phony. In an age when the artistic community as a whole By TIM BAYNE seems content to either simply describe the nihilism of the present age or to retreat M usic Critic into the narrow corridor of romantic love, it is indeed refreshing to find a singer who points to the good without consigning herself to the irrelevant margins of soci­ ictoria Williams is the child Tom Waits and Flannery O’Connor never had.
