Hi LivingADream2 If you can can you please put Oh Lord Have Mercy on a Country Boy by Don Williams up? I love that song! But I can't find it anywhere. I found the remix by Josh Turner, but I far prefer the original by Don. Please help me if you can.
@pelican987 that is odd.I typed it in and it auto filled but the song is not there.All i got is Shelter of your eyes.Truthfully i dont remember that song so i am not sure if the two songs are one in the same.Good luck on your search
This is what I love about utube. since i no longer spin the older vynall records, or hear this kind of "Real Country Talent" on the radio , sure is nice to be able to go back and Remember..and Oh yes!... Enjoy songs such as this one ... "Oh what else can it be ... IT must be Country"
I have always liked Don Williams music i remmeber when I was little Don Williams playing on the radio on the back of the couch.i remember I was so little the couch seemed gigantic.i think i was 2 or 3 years old.
Alan Jackson is a dick who made money off the 911 tragedy FUCK HIM !!! No matter what he "says" the reason was for ...in my eyes hes an asshole never was country star...NUTHING compared to Don Williams or any other old time country singer !
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I like the Alan Jackson version much better as it was a major improvement with newer progressive playing styles. When I saw Don Williams in concert a few years ago, I was disappointed that he played it the original way with out progressing it like Alan Jackson did.
@patsaxon you jack ass what other way could he play but the original way its his song and there were no computers back then so how is he supposed play and sound like today
omg i forgot about these i grew up on this music with my parents im only 30 but i believe i should have been born in these days love this music thank you for posting!!!!
He turned 71 on May 27th of this year. On February 23, 2010, the Country Music Association announced that Don Williams was to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. LONG OVER DUE!
pure talent and great music. doesnt get much better. silky smooth and simple. but we remember and still listen to him decades later. must have done something right.
I didnt know he sang this song,,,sounds good,,and love his music,,,now u know where all the modern singers get all here songs from,,,THE LEGENDS xoxox
@wanzueni in my childhood in a village in Kenya i used to watch the Sparrows fly up and down in joy during rainy season and when you think of love one feels like a sparrow, light, joy....Don knows how to capture the feeling,he is magic
Love....Don Williams........The Gentle Giant they call him.........a song i wrote was once presented to Don by my Publisher.......but......he passed on the song..... :)
my auntie introduced me to this music when i was about 6 and i still listen to it now :) it makes me think of when i used to sing along in the car with them haha good times
I must have heard a thousand versions of this catchy, beautiful song over the last 30 years. But this one by Don Williams is easily among the Top 3. Don't you agree?
This song speaks of my LOVE for a certain Nature Dude who is hiking the entire A.T from Maine to Georgia as I write this! It must be love, oh what a pain I've got
I was in Kenya arounde the same year that Barack Obama was born. He is too black to be a halfcast. I know a lot what happened after 1962. You base yours on nothing but his words, and a fake ID..
Am glad that people are disproving the racist comments...Don Williams has always been my favorite country musician & his music is mostly based on love, so the rumor can't be true...
I agree. And for the people who still believe this ridiculous rumor, here's a remark made by Don himself: "I couldn't have picked anything for the South American culture or the English culture. We're all made of the same stuff - and when we're dealing with one another, we're all on the same plane. I've been fortunate that when I've picked material, there's always been a universality to what I want to sing and what other people feel."
Racist or no Racist.. You are what you hurt. If a Black Man ruins your life. Not saying this ever happened to Don. But you are what life cheats you from. Why is Barack Obama so Racist?
ur an idiot, who is he racist to? asians? hispanics? you cant be racist to your own kind or in this case kind"s" our president is black AND white, like I said-idiot.
@AnniversaryLady good talk... I am black too, and I can confirm to all that Don is not racist....I HAVE SEEN HIM ON 3 OCCASSIONS IN HOUSTON, EVEN TOOK PICS WITH HIM. he is an lovable as his music. In fact, he is coming to houston again in oct....will be there live
If you think he is a racist, listen to 'I believe in you' by Don Williams. He sang that!! After that you will ONLY remember he is a musician and a good un! The rest is for recycle bin.
racist....? ridiculous rumor.....i have gone to church with this man for near my whole life and could perhaps big the biggest hearted man i know....and have never known him to be racist
I really can't believe people still think of Don being a racist. Who ever brought out this silly rumor? Please don't believe it. I can't think of any other artist more decent and kind than Don. Listen to all of his interviews and you should know. If he really was, why would he do a Zimbabwe concert? And cry while black people are performing for him (Into Africa video)? It's really rediculous to think that he is a racist. Btw there are more people with the same name....
Never met my dad but mom told me Don Williams was his favorite Artists. Guess its in the blood because even though he was popular before my time I love Don William's music....I believe in love was my Dad's favorite song.....
Damn, this guy is awesome! Thank god for Don Williams. It's time for Country HOF to vote him in. Please send an email to the hall and ask them how a talent like Don (Mr. Pure voice) is not in the hall!??
Im sure kennith chesnet or whatever his name is will be in b4 this real country icon... He doesnt need the hall or any award to prove he is real country to the core. We all love him and thats all he needs. Keep playn his songs and lettn em touch ur heart and soul!
He went to Great Falls, MT for his last concert, I saw him there.
