Williams started out in radio in Cleveland in 1932 on The Barn Busters. He began to use the stage name Doc Williams in 1936 and called his band the Border Riders. The next year they joined the Wheeling Jamboree on powerful radio station WWVA.

Hot Chip, Spiritualized Supergroup About Group Set Album Release
Domino Records have announced an April 26th release for About Group's new album Start and Complete.

Comprising Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Charles Hayward (This Heat), John Coxon (Spring Heel Jack, Spiritualized) and Pat Thomas, who has played with the likes of Derek Bailey, Tony Oxley and others, the band originally formed to make a record of improvised music for the Treader label in 2009, having never played together as a whole before the day it took them to make their first album. After a clutch of live performances (supporting Gang Gang Dance, playing Ornette Coleman's Meltdown Festival and even Glastonbury, among others) they regrouped to record this album.

Start And Complete is the highly engaging result; recorded in one day at Abbey Road, Studio 2, and mixed over three days on Conny Plank's old desk, at Mark Ralph's London studio. The songs were written by Taylor over the last few years and some, but not all of them, were given out as a CD in piano/vocal demo form for the other members of the group to hear a few days before the studio date. The idea was that no one band member would know the songs well enough to have specific parts, or be prevented from playing something like the first ideas that came into their head. more on this story
