I love this song by Don - first time I've ever heard it actually. His warm voice makes any song special. Thanks Mitch for sending this link to me. The Wilburn Brothers had such terrific shows. I watched them fairly recently on a Rural American show - a link which I have lost somehow. Their music has always been great country and they always looked so classy. Thank you for posting this. - Paula
My mum loved this mans music. she would play him and dance like a nutter round the living room, mum's gone from us now and when i hear don williams i cry my eyes out.
This song reminds me of my oldest brother,During 1978. This whole Album drive he crazy and listening to it over/over again. @ the same time he was very intoxicated-driving all over the road,there were No damn cop to be seen,through the winding canyon rd.for a beer run. sure thought i was going to die that night.
there is still some real truly real country music singers out there, but you want find many on these stations out here who doesn't even know their own type formats and calls it country. it just doesn't work that away trashville, opps, Nashville. we have some of the greatest living legend with us even today, but time is catching up with us all very quickly. please before it's to late, give-em their just dues. Don Williams is one of these legendary Country Music Stars, but remember time
Nothing is real anymore..We in a "lost times." No more good music, talkless of country...These songs were in the best of times...a time of great music and singers..those time are simply gone....
when i was about 8 years old, my mom would listen to him and we would color in my precious moments coloring book, best memory ever.. don williams reminds me of those times ♥
Is Don Williams going to be in the Pacific No. West on tour. Portland , Or, Seatte , any time soon? I love his voice. Would like to see him in person. donna h vancouver, wa
My mom loved Don Willams. Listened to him all the time when I was a young man. Listening to him now I can relate to everything he sings, everything he feels and at the same time remember what it was like to have my mother. So thank you Mr. Williams and thank you mom for.....well for being you. I am so glad to see so many people here loving his music, renews my faith in humanity.
This is really great to see him before his hat. I loved him back then and still today. I love singing his songs. This is country folks. I don't even listen to the radio anymore. People who say they sing country on the radio is just wrong. It is pure junk. If I had a chance, I am still young enough to sing and write songs in the Don Williams style, thanks To Don. I know what country is, It's Don Williams, Merle Haggard, George Strait, and Ernie Taylor finally country has come to a stop.
Takes me back to the 70s, went to see him at the Coventry (UK) Theatre and bumped into him in the bombed-out cathedral, a friendly chat, what a gentleman. Also went to see him at the Liverpool concert some years later.
I love Don Williams! :) Takes me back to when I first heard him and I just had to learn EVERY one of his songs. His voice was a breath of fresh air. Still sounds cool to me!
I hope Don WIlliams comes in to you tube to read our postings. We especially want to thank him for his songs, not only the best in singing but his songs are really special. Thank you Don Williams, God's Blessings to you and your famiy. We appreciate the down to earth person that you show through your singing, no phoney baloneym, we is ole folks but love your singin :-) :-) from us both.
From what i understand Don didnt want any part of todays country music so he was basically an outsider. As you can tell DON wasnt much for Glamour and Glitz in his concerts but he always had a packed house at his concerts. Very relaxing voice to fans all over the world, I guess he is big in South America also
Todays so called country is a joke compared to this, we need more of the Don Williams,Vern Gosdin Types and not this crap that think they are country just because they wear a hat
@Mattea68 AAAMEN!!! Nashville is just a joke anymore, honestly an embarassment for us Tennesseans. "Music" today comes from NYC, LA and maybe Atlanta if they are lucky.

Actually it's because of his back he prefers to sit, he can't stand for too long. He's had back surgery as well.
As far as his hat, this was at the very beginning of his career and didn't even have the hat :-) He got that when he appeared in the 1974 movie W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings with Burt Reynolds.
His voice can MELT an ice cube! love him!

Just saw Don Williams in concert on Nov 5. It was an amazing show.
I am so glad that he came out of retirement to do a tour now that he is finally in the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME!!!!!!!!!
He's been in my own personal country music hall of fame for many years now.
