Such as honest voice there's only Don Williams,we need more of his style of country slow relaxing straight to the point "NO MORE,NO LESS"

To turbo1duner, Thanks for your response....very nice & touching. Yes, life moves on too fast. I often reminisce about the good ol' days when country music was so much better. Kind regards.

Fairandjust ... that's why he ws called the man with the velvet voice.

Fell in love with Country when Don Williams was at his prime .. remember John Conlee and Rose Colored Glasses? Now days everyone is cookie cutter and had to look *hollywood* to make it. So much great talent gets overlooked.

That era...Amazing.

I recall working the graveyard shift and sittin in my VW Beetle listening to these guys on breaks.

Life goes too fast.
