Williams, Don

Especially For You
Sealed 1981 Embossed Jacket Original, Small Saw Cut. A Year After His Biggest-Selling Record Ever, The Pressure Was On Don Williams To Deliver, And He Did. It’s Remarkably Consistent, Full Of Great Songs And The Now Trademark Production Sound Of Williams And Garth Fundis. There Are Some New Twists Here As Well. While The Song Catch This Time Out Was As Good As Any, With Contributions From Bob McDill, Rick Beresford, Roger Cook, Dave Hanner, And Other Cats In The Band Such As Dave Kirby And Charles Cochran, There Are Two Covers Here Of A Very Special Nature. The First Is The Album's Opener, "Fair Weather Friends." Written By Joe Allen And Johnny Cash, The Song Feels As If It Were Written For Williams Despite The Steady But Muted Cash Rhythm That Is Ever Present In The Song. One Can Hear Cash's Voice Singing It Too, As He Has For Years, But This Version Doesn't Sound So Much Like A Proclamation Or Exhortation, But Like A Fireside Chat From An Elder To A Younger. The Other Is A Duet With Emmylou Harris On A Read Of Townes Van Zandt's Jewel "If I Needed You," Which Kicks Off Side Two. Astonishingly Faithful To The Original And So Ghostly In Its Slow, Shimmering Approach That It's Almost Not Even There, It Has The Wallop Of An Emotional Train Wreck. Specially Priced And Recommended.
