In 2005 Williams founded the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars featuring Tab Benoit, Dr. John, Cyril Neville, Monk Boudreaux, Anders Osborne, George Porter Jr., Johnny Vidacovich, Johnny Sansone, and Waylon Thibodeaux. The band was formed to network together to spread the word that Louisiana was losing it's coast line and venerable to flooding. In 2005 the band entered Piety Studios with engineer Mark Bingham to record a CD that would be the farthest out reach by any wetland's organization. In 2011 he formed another musical "supergroup" called Royal Southern Brotherhood. The band featured Cyril Neville, Mike Zito, Devon Allman, Charlie Wooton, and Yonrico Scott. The band signed to Ruf Records for a 12 record deal that consisted of three Cds by Devon Allman, Mike Zito, and Cyril Neville.
