An American feminist singer-songwriter, who achieved fame as a recording artist. Williamson's music and insight has served as a catalyst for change in the creation of women-owned record companies in the 1970s.
Williamson released her first album 'The Artistry of Cris Williamson' in 1964, when she was sixteen and still at school. She became a local musical sensation in Sheridan, Wyoming, releasing two following LPs in 1965: 'A Step at a Time' and 'The World Around Cris Williamson'.
After graduating, Williamson supported herself initially as a schoolteacher but she continued to play and record folk music and she collaborated with artists such as Holly Near, Meg Christian and Margie Adam. she realeased the album 'Cris Williamson' in 1971.
During a radio interview in Washington D.C. in 1973, Williamson suggested that a record label aimed at gay women would be a good idea. The independent label 'Olivia Records' was founded the next day. 'Olivia Records' released Williamson's 'The Changer and the Changed' (1975), which became one of the best-selling independent releases of all time.
Williamson went on to record more albums with Olivia Records: 'Live Dream' (1978), 'Strange Paradise' (1980), 'Lumiere' (1982), 'Blue Rider' (1982), 'Meg/Cris at Carnegie Hall' (1983),'Prairie Fire' (1985) and 'Snow Angel' (1985).
Then after its demise, Williamson formed her own label 'Wolf Moon Records' releasing 'Wolf Moon' (1987), 'Country Blessed' (1989), 'The Best of Cris Williamson' (1990) and 'Live in Concert: Circle of Friends' (1991).
Between 1982 and 2000, Williamson was the professional and personal partner of Tret Fure, with whom she collaborated on three albums: 'Postcards From Paradise' (1993), 'Between The Covers' (1996) and 'Radio Quiet' (1999). These albums were all realeased on the 'Wolf Moon Records' label.
Williamson now records and tours as a solo artist. Her recent solo albums are: 'Ashes' (2001), 'Cris & Holly' (2003), 'Replay' (2003), 'The Essential Cris Williamson' (2005), 'Real Deal' (2005), 'The Changer and the Changed: A Record of the Times [30th *Anniversary Enhanced]' (2005),'Fringe' (2008), 'Winter Hearts' (2009) and 'GiftHorse' (2011).
