Vaunted singer/songwriter Dar Williams returns to Southwest Virginia with a new album, “In The Time of Gods,” which uses parables of Greek mythology to examine modern life. And it works.

Williams brings music from that disc and more from her long career to Kirk Avenue Music Hall on Saturday. Get show details at Top Tickets. On this podcast, we discuss the record, her lyrical process, the players on it (including Larry Campbell, Shawn Colvin and Charley Drayton) and more. Streaming music — “I Am The One Who Will Remember Everything,” “You Will Ride With Me Tonight” and “Summer Child.”
