Don hasn't recorded in nearly 20 years and is a recent inductee in to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

He had 17 #1 hits and I read somewhere that 40 of his 42 single releases made the top 10....pretty strong.


The vid below gives a hint of what is to come on this mans journey with music. I saw him maybe a month ago in concert, and let me tell you, at 73 years old, the guy is still a voice for the ages.

In the vid you'll hear people you know , country music fan or not, gush over the guy. When the CD is released in a few weeks, give the old guy a shot, it is a refreshing sound I know you will like, even if you are a head banger. Sometimes you need some mellow to balance things, and this guy is mellow.


Nobody is like the Gentle Giant. (He's maybe 6'7" or more)


Oh, he still has that corncob tasseled hat.....a way cool hat, at least to me. He's had that hat a long time. When it's all said and done, that thing needs to go to the HOF to hang on the wall.

Just popped one of his CDs into the CD player in the truck the other day. Can't wait for the new stuff.

Peen, Got any idea exactly when the new CD is supposed to come out?

You don't make a music HOF if you aren't good.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

I can listen to Don Williams when I'm in a certain mood.
"If Hollywood Don't Love You" is a damn good song.
