"Timeless wisdom tells us that home is where the heart is and Elizabeth Wills proves it with beautifully rendered songs of wanderlust and love on her latest album. Produces and engineered by Austin's Mark Hallman, who also plays bass, clarinet, lap steel and accordion, Love Comes Home features an all-star lineup of backing voices from Sara Hickman, BettySoo, Susan Gibson, and Shelley King. Wills chronicles the journeys and joys of counting off "every lonely mile, one by one," on that long ride home to a lover's smile, the helping hands of a "Million Angels" who get us through the darkest hours, and the heartbreak that may come when "timing wins again," as she sings on the album's closer and highlight, "Timing." In love and music, it's all about timing, and this is clearly Elizabeth Wills' time."

"Love Comes
Home' is an appropriate title for Wills'
newest project. It’s a journey from broken
hearts to enjoying and cherishing the time
spent with loved ones. If the same old Texas
country is sounding like a broken record
ready to be tossed out, Elizabeth Wills will
point you in a different direction.

"Singer-songwriter Wills' new album is the
first one produced by the nonprofit arm of
the intimate La Grange venue the Bugle Boy.
And the organization's instincts are right
on. Wills delivers an enjoyable listening
experience, brimming with confidence and
sweetness."

"Her instruments are her lovely voice, her
songwriting pen and her talent for the piano
and the six-string. You can hear her sonic
beauty on folk-pop cuts from Love Comes Home,
her latest album."
Dalis Allen,
Producer - Kerrville Folk Festival (Oct 12,
2009)
"Elizabeth Wills is one of those artists that
you can discover over and over again and love
her every time. She has the package deal all
wrapped up, great songs, voice and
instrumentation delivered with ease and
grace. She will definitely be back to play
our Festivals in Texas!"
Paul Barker - Barker
House Concerts (Oct 1, 2009)
"Every time I hear Elizabeth Wills perform,
regardless of the venue, I say to myself,
‘What the hell is she still doing playing
here?’ She is one of those artists we all
brag about eventually when we tell our
friends, ‘Yea, but I heard her years ago.’
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear her now
while you can afford it!"
Sara Hickman, 2010
Texas State Musician
"Certain voices wrap around the listener's
heart with instant familiarity and warmth,
like a long lost friend you've been waiting
to meet...that's what elizabeth wills' voice
brings to mind. In regards to her
songwriting, her song
" in the broken" captures the essence of
everything a song should be: heartfelt,
clarified intimacy delivered with sincere
conviction needing nothing more than
elizabeth's warm voice and acoustic guitar
arpeggios."
Jenny Block - Dallas
Morning News
"The crowd was
hers from the start...Her lush voice calls to
mind female singer/songwriter greats
such as Carly Simon, Shawn Colvin and Sarah
McLachlan. "
Lane Gosnay, Founder
- The Bugle Boy (May 21, 2009)
"Elizabeth Wills voice is at minimal angelic
and can be best described as viscerally
intoxicating."
Samantha Jones -
Static Multimedia (Nov 29, 2007)
"Elizabeth Wills is a great listen when you
are alone and need to unwind. She sings
gracefully about love, romance, and being
thankful for what you've been given. Most
artists these days sing of misery and despair
and it's nice to see the polar opposite of
that. Finally, someone who sees the world as
the glass half full."
Sheila Dichoso -
Campus Circle (Mar 28, 2008)
"You know something is special when it breaks
your heart and tugs at your fragile
heartstrings, yet exquisitely captures your
every emotion. This rings true for
singer-songwriter Elizabeth Wills’ music."
JIMMY FOWLER - Fort
Worth Weekly (Apr 9, 2008)
"...rich, wise vocal style"
