About Don Williams - Gold
In his heyday, fans went to Don Williams concerts like they went to church--quietly, reverently. They might approach this set, with its 16 No. 1 hits, with similar devotion. The skeletal, small-band country-folk sound frames his guileless baritone so delicately that one could make a case for Williams as one of the fathers of New Age music. But these singles, no matter how soft and simple, refuse to recede into the background. That's partly because of the sing-along melodies, but mostly because he conveys these lyrics--which could be artsy ("Good Ole Boys Like Me") or brazenly direct even by Nashville standards ("You're My Best Friend")--with irresistible warmth, intimacy, and empathy. Forty songs may add up to more time than you care to spend in church in one sitting, but if you have this, you'll never need another Williams CD. --John Morthland Amazon.com

Don Williams has always been one of my favorite artists. This 2-disc collection contains everything I could want from him, with songs like "Good Ol' Boys Like Me," "Nobody But You," and "Listen to the Radio." You could listen to this for hours-even days-and never grow tired of it. Williams is one of the great artists of all time, and any fan of his needs this album.
September 2, 2008What fun to hear these songs again. The sound is great, and Amazon delivery was first rate.
July 22, 2008There is no smoother singer than Don Williams.
Just like Kris Kristofferson, he has a smooth story-teller voice. Any of his CDs (so far) that I have , are great.
You can even exercise to them !
May 17, 2008These two CDs are great. Don Williams has a super voice & choice of music. Especially love the duet he does with EmmyLou Harris - "If I needed you". Great value too. JP

I have followed the warmth of the voice of Don Williams since he started with Pozo Seco Singers and have acquired a few albums and certainly a pile of his CDs. I am still searching for the lost tracks found on 'Portrait' and 'Yellow Moon'.
For some reasons which I can only guess, the same tracks appear again and again on new releases of CD compilations of his songs. I now have six to seven repeats (or even more) of tracks like 'I believe in you'. Tracks like 'It only rains on me', 'We've never tried it with each other' remain elusive. For now, I have these tracks transferred, and 'cleaned', from my albums.
