BRAD WILLIAMS
“The Salty Dogs sound the way country music should sound. Authentic and looking forward. One foot in Arkansas, one foot in California. I’ll have more please!”

The Greatest Is Love received a 2023 nomination for Album of the Year Finalist by the Arkansas Country Music Association.
“Brad Williams’ voice is something special. Like a flower pressed in the pages of a dusty book and then forgotten about for several decades, his country baritone is smooth, crisp and worn, and seems lifted from a different time.”
