He is though isn't he? I mean he's cheesy enough to work for Sheridan's and pure hick Country & Western but there's something honest and straight about him. I came across a vinyl Greatest Hits on the shelf the other say, a mid 70s compilation, but I suspect it might have been well partied so I didn't even look at the condition. I'll look again.

I have been a fan of Don Williams since the mid 1970s. And I still like his music. Two songs always stand out IMHO, I recall a gypsy woman and Tulsa time.
It's OK, if there is no bread I will eat cake.

Re: Americana and suchlike
I heard a bit of this in Dereks last night and I must say I was impressed. Yeah, its stereotypical country, but very good musicianship and recording too - and a gentle listen. I must pick up a bit more of his stuff to see what its like.
Do or do not, there is no try

More down home sounding than modern 'country' IMHO Fran. By modern country I mean Brad Paisley, Shania Twain and the likes.Fran wrote:I heard a bit of this in Dereks last night and I must say I was impressed.

John Fogerty 'The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again' is a CD you might like as it is in similar vein to Don Williams.

Re: Americana and suchlike
The original and the best. The only reason I gave Country music a fair listen was because of this album....Thanks JC :)
Re: Americana and suchlike
Fantastic album. Don't think they've released anything less than great. IMHO.dhyantyke wrote:
