Ron Williams "Anything You Can Spare"

Ron Williams, son of the often underrated Leona Williams and one-time stepson of Merle Haggard, has a nice voice with a warm tone and soft timbre which is very pleasing. His third album, produced by Eddie Kilroy, on Ah-Ha Music Group, is solidly country, with some lovely fiddle from Rob Hajacos, and 80s star Janie Fricke guests on backing vocals. Williams is not a writer, unlike his mother, but he and his producer have found some excellent songs for this record.

Bill Anderson contributed three very good songs to the set, starting with the outstanding title track co-written with Jim Collins, a soulful ballad about the increasing regrets about a broken relationship after the event, as the protagonist starts to remember the good things he misses rather than the fights and bad times, concluding,
"It's a funny thing about a memory
The longer you're gone
The better our love used to be"

Just as good is the ironic reproach to a former love now dating another guy, written by Bill with Don Cook, 'You Should Have More Respect For The Dead':

This is true country gold at its best. Ron has a very warm, sexy voice and romantic songs like this aren't easy to find in today's country artists. Thanks again - Paula
