Holly Williams has recruited Jackson Browne, Jakob Dylan and Dierks Bientley to lend guest vocals on her third studio album, The Highway, which will be self-released on February 5, 2013.

The album was co-produced by Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars) and Williams and featuring 11 original song that were either written or co-written by Williams.

Writing collaborators include Christopher Coleman ("Happy," "Let You Go," "'Til It Runs Dry") LoriMcKenna ("Without You"), Sarah Buxton ("A Good Man") and Cary Barlowe ("'Til It Runs Dry").

Recorded at The Art House in Nashville, the album was engineered and mixed by Richie Biggs, with additional engineering and mixing by Nick Autry, and Chuck Ainlay.

Additionally, the album features guest vocals from Jackson Browne ("Gone Away From Me"), Jakob Dylan ("Without You"), Dierks Bientley ("'Til It Runs Dry") and Gwyneth Paltrow ("Waiting On June").

"I think every artist has their coming of age record," says Williams. "This one definitely feels like mine in that there was such a shift with me through the process of this record. It was completed in exactly nine months to the day, feeling somewhat like a birth. These songs really brought a focus into my life personally. Since the last record, I turned 30, my grandparents are gone, I'm married now, I'm keeping doggies and gardens alive, I have a clothing store, I have a husband on tour with a huge rock band, so there's a lot to keep up with. But the highway came calling and I suddenly had this serious longing for the road, the fans, the storytelling, and the life in that living. I'm ready to get back to those wheels and play these songs for everyone."

Holly is offering fans a preview of the album's first track "Drinkin'" here.

The daughter of Hank Williams, Jr. and granddaughter of the legendary Hank Williams, Holly released her debut album The Ones We Never Knew (Universal South) in 2004.
