Don Williams is the most underrated OG artist there is. I think it's because he keeps his performances very simple. It's just him playing a guitar and singing a song, there is nothing fancy, nothing flashy, the only thing he uses to draw a crowd is the quality of his music which I love. Thank you Don Williams is one of my favorite artists.

Truth be told, I have never heard Don Williams when he didn't sound great. His voice is a wonderful blend of whiskey and honey. They called Don "The Gentle Giant". When he got pretty old and had to sit through his entire shows, he still sounded amazing. Lots of great songs from Don.

What an incredible Song and what a Voice!!! I'm glad I don't have a reaction channel because I can't wait to go check out more of his music! An interesting thing happened for me during this song. This song evoked a strong sense of nostalgia for me but It came from the music not really the lyrics. I'm convinced he could have been singing in a completely different language where I couldn't understand a single lyric, and I still would have felt that same feeling of nostalgia. It's amazing the power of music to evoke an emotion. It's also a testament to what an incredible job Don Williams and the rest of the Band did communicating the emotion of this song. There is a difference between playing the notes or singing the lyrics and what these guys did. A lot of musicians play music, but A Great Musician Communicates music.

OMG!! 🤯 I’ve always loved Don Williams and I haven’t listened to him in a while. I just pulled up his music to listen because of this reaction, and I found a song I never knew about! He has a recording with Keith Urban, Imagine That, and it’s excellent! Don was always underrated and a true legend. He’s truly missed. And that’s another thing that I love about Keith Urban too is that he is as much a fan of all the greats and always pays such homage to them, as much as he is an icon himself.

I remember looking him up a few years back, because I could only ever remember seeing him in old performances from like the 80's. And I was surprised to see that he was still alive, because he kinda already looked a little old in this old performance. But when I looked him up, he had white long hair and a white beard. Then a couple of months later the news broke that he passed away. Coincidentally he passed away on the same day that Troy Gentry from the country group "Montgomery Gentry" passed away. Troy passed from a helicopter crash. You guys reacted to them before.

His version of "Amanda" is a close second favorite.

His music style was strongly influenced by other music from his home in Floydada TX. Buddy Holly from Lubbock, Also Mac Davis. Bob Wills from Turkey and western swing. This area is home to some incredible musical talent. My in laws knew Don when he was playing at the county fair, covering old country songs alone with just his guitar when the music itself was the entertainment without the lights and electric sound. And he was a phenomenal guitarist. It's difficult to play and sing without watching your hands.

Hey guys me again. The song with Chris Stapleton and Adele is called Easy on Me. I guess it depends on your definition of what's country. By todays standards ... maybe. I guess if whatever Beyonce did is country then so is this. I heard the song (Chris and Adele) and it is worth a listen. I personally would not call it country, but I wouldn't call a lot of what is on "country radio" country. That being said, I like all kinds of music (well most kinds), but I wouldn't expect to hear bluegrass on a classic rock station,. Know what I mean? Anyway for another song by a country artist, that isn't a country song, you should give a listen (on your own) to a live performance from some award show of Gretchen Wilson singing Barracuda with Alice in Chains playing behind her. You get to really hear her open up. Anyway, I'm going to leave you a link to it. Do with it what you will. kzitem.info/news/bejne/o6eH0Xl5gqBoZm0 Oh and another Don Williams favorite of mine is "You're My Best Friend".
