Editor's note

Don Williams, the gentle giant of country music

His calm baritone gave weight to simple sentiments about heartbreak and small moments.

For the full Williams effect, try 'Lord I Hope This Day Is Good' or 'I Believe in You.' They show how he could make quiet sound big.

Williams had a way of making ordinary feelings sound profound. You hear it in 'I Believe in You,' where his steady delivery turns a straightforward declaration into something quietly moving. His songs like 'Some Broken Hearts Never Mend' and 'Lord I Hope This Day Is Good' became signatures because they felt lived-in, not performed.

He started playing in local Texas bands before signing with Dot Records in 1971, which led to his self-titled debut that same year. Williams recorded steadily through the 1970s and 1980s, working with a regular group of musicians sometimes called the Country Boys, and released albums like 'Tulsa' in 1976 and 'Ordinary Fool' in 1989.
