Water to Drink is an album by the American musician Victoria Williams, released in 2000.[1][2] She had originally intended to record an album of standards, but was discouraged by Atlantic Records.[3] Williams promoted the album by touring with Lou Reed.[4]
Produced by Williams and J. C. Hopkins, the album was recorded mostly at Williams's home studio, in Joshua Tree.[5][6] The title track was written by Antônio Carlos Jobim.[7] Williams used a kalimba on some of the tracks.[8] Van Dyke Parks composed the string parts for some songs.[8] Greg Leisz played pedal steel on the album; David Piltch played bass.[9][10] Mark Olson, Williams's then-husband, sang on "Joy of Love".[11] Petra Haden sang and played violin on several tracks.[12] "Junk" employs a Mellotron; "Gladys and Lucy" a horn section.[13][14]
