“Don Williams seemingly came out of nowhere with this refreshing, stripped-down, acoustic sound, which, though very rootsy, could in no way be termed old-hat,” music journalist Alan Cackett said.
Texas-born country singer Don Williams (1939–2017) is widely known for his many hits, from the bluesy “Tulsa Time” to the wistful “Good Ole Boys Like Me.” Cackett conducted more than a dozen interviews over the years with the eclectic country artist, beginning in the early 1970s. He described the singer-songwriter as “a quiet man who chose his words carefully,” and the breadth of his repertoire represents an artist who was intentional with his recording time.
