A great collection of The Gentle Giant's greatest hits,
December 14, 1998 Bradley Olson (Bemidji, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don Williams - 20 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
This collection of 20 of Don's greatest hits is a great collection for all fans of the smooth side of country music and for fans of great storytelling, which is what country music at its best basically is. Every song speaks for itself. While most of the songs on here feature his smooth side, "Tulsa Time" may get the fan out on the dance floor doing the two step or the "Slappin' Leather" line dance. Don's interpretation of "Amanda" (which was later a #1 hit for Waylon Jennings) is as good as anything else he has done and is very heart-wrenching. Smooth country music back in the 1970's doesn't get much better than this, so this collection is a must have for your collection.

Best of the Best of's,

This review is from: Don Williams - 20 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
This is the best of the Best of's for Don Williams. Every song is good and there is a flow and feel to the whole disc. There is not a single song to skip over. Don's voice is so pleasant and appealing. The production is always simple yet tastey. Don comes across with honesty and integrity. He's not afraid to allow his faith to enter into his music even when the songs are not Gospel. This is Country Music at it's best. Don Williams is the first Country artist that caught my attention as a teenager and ushered me into an appreciation of this genre. I still would rather hear him sing and interpret a song than any other Country artist out there today.The only thing missing from this collection is my all-time favorite William's song, Miracles. In fact, if you want the absolute best Don Williams collection, get this 20 Greatest Hits CD and also get "Lord, I Hope this Day is Good". There will only be one repeat in this 2-CD set, and you'll have the cream of the...Read more

The Gentle Giant at his Best,
June 10, 2003 Batmanbrb "batmansbrb" (Seymour, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don Williams - 20 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Don Williams, to me, is the King of Country Music. No one else compares. He is one of the greatest storytellers of all time and his believes in every song he sings. My favorite songs of his are "Lord I Hope This Day is Good" and "Good Ole Boys Like Me". This is a very good collection of his hits and should be considered a gem in anyone's country collection.
