Remember when country music was GOOD and the lyrics touched your heart and mind? We do! Take a trip down memory lane with us each week as we discuss Don's experiences growing up in Tennessee and working in the country music industry in the 1970s and 80s. If you're a fan of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard and other forgotten artists, here's your chance to hear from a guy who knew those folks and had actual conversations with them.
My mom has every single Don Williams album he ever put out. Even the international releases. She would sew and listen to him on her vinyls late into the evening. She listened so much, she wore them out. One of her friends transferred them to digital files. He tried to master out the imperfections, but you can still hear some of the crackle and pops. Listening to it makes me feel young again.
The pitching on that turntable is spot on. It is not very often one can pick up guitar and play along with music that comes off most turntables without having to tune the instrument to suit. Thanks for this. Please give us the B side soon. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Listening to this album for the first time. I thought I had listened to all Don songs but this proved me wrong. My love for Don music is unparalleled. Rest on Don.
In Africa, Don Williams is the biggest country artist ever, ok, in Zimbabwe, Don Williams was bigger than Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton combined. When he held his shows, the country stood still, police escorts and all the kitchen toys. Oh we loved and sang along to every song that he sang, he was shocked by how much we loved and knew his music. Obviously, like all his shows, he didn't like requests, but, this was Africa, the pestered for My best friend
There’s a video here on RU-vid of his trip to Zimbabwe. Absolutely warmed my heart seeing all the fans enjoying his music. And of course singing along to My Best Friend! I love knowing how popular Don Williams is around the world. Even my friends who don’t like country music end up liking him, because he’s just that good 😃
Please post that here. I'd love to watch it! I was shocked how many views originated from Africa for all the Don Williams albums we've uploaded thus far. Did NOT see that coming.
