The seductive music of Don Williams has an insulated quality about it that makes it hard to resist. It's as if the world is swirling out of control around the Gentle Giant, yet he barely raises an eyebrow, blithely singing his soft, calming tunes. Give a Hot Country Star these songs, and their simple truths about love, faith, and country life would seem like platitudes. However, in the caress of Williams's warmhearted baritone, they come off as sincere, timeless nuggets of wisdom. With the barest of accompaniment, Williams took 10 of these 12 songs to the top of the country charts (while the remaining pair reached No. 2) in the '70s and '80s. Though he penned hits for many others, his own smashes usually came courtesy of writers such as Bob McDill and Wayland Holyfield, though Williams, a Texas native, clearly relates to their unpretentious, bucolic sentiments. Throughout, Williams gives good ol' boys back their good name and women back their dignity, and through the strength of his quiet determination, he makes such conventional concepts sound unfailingly hip. --Marc Greilsamer

Title: Don William's has the most loving of life songs of the past & the future.
Review: I have always loved ...love his music. It is the most soothing & meaningfull songs. When my children were young I came across his songs. I called it our go to sleep music. Not literally. His style is soothing. In fact a few Christmas ago my daughter bought tickets for her brother, sister me & herself. No spouses or their kids. Just the 4 of us. It was because of Don's music bonded us our entire life. She was so upset because his concert was canceled because of his passing away. It was sad for all of us. I bought 2 of his DVDs & play it constantconstantly in my car when I'm driving. Don William's songs will live forever in our hearts.

Title: "Shall we rather say, "Some of the best"'
Review: Very mellow, and not at all, yellow.He ain't Leonard Cohen, but then he's also not Dylan, and certainly not Beethoven.Great background for that special movie, something about a great ranch in Texas, fimed in New Mexico, or Alabama.Best with potatoe chips and rose wine.....
