Artist: WILLIAMS,DON
Title: ANTHOLOGY
Street Release Date: 04/03/2007
Domestic
Genre: COUNTRY
Amazon.com
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

5.0 out of 5 stars "the Gary Cooper of country music", November 6, 2000
By 
J. Lovins "Mr. Jim" (Missouri-USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gold (Audio CD)
Hip-O Records presents, the gentle understated baritone Don Williams from Texas, with forty tunes from the early '70s through and up to the '90s. Williams uses no gimmicks, just sings with warmth and heart, a simple basic truth to his success.

The years 1974 to 1986, marked Williams' career peak, sixteen No. #1 hits, "LOVE ME TONIGHT", "SAY IT AGAIN", IT MUST BE LOVE" "IF HOLLYWOOD DON'T NEED YOU" and "GOOD OLE BOYS LIKE ME", were all written by Bob McDill. The biggest hit came in 1980 with "I BELIEVE IN YOU", was a credo of a satisfied man , but not a smug man.

Hip-O Records, you've outdone yourself, with honest songs honestly sung, simple songs for all the folks...enjoy this "Anthology" from this country troubadour...exactly what you'd expect!

Total Time: Disc One 58:01 on 20 Tracks & Disc Two 69:00 on 20 Tracks...(2000)

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong compilation of gentle giant's music, November 9, 2002
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gold (Audio CD)
This is the strongest compilation of Don's music yet released, containing all his important country hits except Stay young, though it's absence does not really matter. I recall a gypsy woman (a top 20 pop hit in the UK) is missing, but it was never released as a single in America, so never gets included on American compilations. You can find it on any number of British compilations.

So, what you get here are forty wonderful songs which show what the gentle giant (as Don is known) could really do. Some of my favorites here include You're my best friend, Till the rivers all run dry, Some broken hearts never mend, Tulsa time, Lay down beside me and If I needed you, but there are so many others I could name.

Start your Don Williams collection here. If there are other songs you particularly like, you can buy more of his music later - Don had so many great songs that they couldn't all fit on two CD's.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don Williams - Anthology, January 28, 2001
By 
Country Boy (Appalachian Ridge and Valley) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gold (Audio CD)
Great tracks! Of all the Don Williams CD's I have, this would be THE one I'd suggest for an all-in-one collection. Williams' mellow, gentlemanly tone is soothing to my country ears. The downside....once again here is a Don Williams CD without one of my favorites..."Yellow Moon". Have all the labels forgotten that fantastic tune? I'd sure like to know of any CD with that hit. I only have it on the old LP with that title track. This is why I've limited my rating.
