The Magnificent Don (Don Williams)

 There comes a phase in life when music overcomes and captivates our emotions , influencing the deepest strata of our soul and desires.

It was the days of stereo and cassettes , when I came across this husky country voice , never imagining that  I could fall in love with this voice and his songs.  An amazing voice displayed in perfection with utmost simplicity. I would often rewind the songs listening to them over and over again. The monsoon rain , a glass of coffee and Don Williams songs became my favourite acquaintance during my college days.

Some of  the evergreen songs of Don Williams mentioned below can take you to a different world

• I don't believe in superstars ..
• You are my best friend
• Rodeo Man
• Some broken hearts never mend
• I am just a country boy
• Tulsa time
• Good old boys like me ..
• Till the rivers all run dry

I am not a fan of live shows, yet going to a Don Williams live concert remained on my to do bucket list  but  with his demise (couple of years ago ) it  will continue to remain so forever.

His songs however remains a tribute to the country genre  and the genius amongst the voices lives with us eternally through his songs.
