There are few American classics these days, but Don Williams is certainly one of them. With a warm hickory baritone that balances strength with a gentle concern, he draws his listener into the intimate world of an old friend, someone who cares deeply about you and the quality of your life…and who will always offer a hand when you need it.

“I don’t think there’s anything we have to do daily in our walk that’s more important than how we deal with each other,” Williams confesses. “To me, it’s everything. So when you’re looking for songs, if they can express that, then you’ve found something special.”

Without a doubt Williams, whose hits with the likes of Good Ole Boys Like Me, I Believe In You, Love Is On A Roll, Amanda and Tulsa Time, have always had a knack for finding songs that speak directly to people’s hearts.

“When you first start making records, all the songs are challenging and there’s so much to talk about,” Williams begins, explaining the challenges of maintaining one’s artistic commitment a quarter of a century into a solo career. “But after you’ve done it for a while, it’s hard to revisit the same places and still be believable.”
