Country singe
Keeps improv
By Johnny Boggs
Don Williams is like a good wine ? he
keeps improving with age.
Country music's bearded good ole boy,
with his brown guitar and dirty cowboy hat,
has immortalized such classics as "Amanda"
and "Tulsa Time." His deep, soft voice is
best suited for singing love songs, something
he does better than almost anybody.
And Williams does it best on his latest
album, "Yellow Moon."
ONE OF THE reasons for Williams'
popularity is his knack for selecting quality
tunes by quality songwriters. "Yellow
Moon" contains 10 love ballads by some of
Nashville's best lyricists.
Roger Cook and Bob McDill are two old
faithfuls who return on this LP. Cook, who
co-wrote Williams' 1980 hit, "I Believe in
You," teams up here with the legendary
John Prine on "Love Is on a Roll."
McDill remains one of today's top country
songwriters, and is one of Williams'
favorites. McDill was the man behind such
Williams hits as "Falling Again," "If
Hollywood Don't Need You" and "Good
Ole Boys Like Me." The latter is the best
song of its genre penned in the past several
years.
McDill has written two songs on "Yellow
Moon." They are, predictably, two of the

album's best cuts. "I'm Still Looking For
You" is typical of his style, a considered and
nicely composed love song. 'Pressure Makes
Diamonds," co-written by John Schweers, is
a lively tune, the kind usually associated with
an urban cowboy such as Johnny Lee.
ALTHOUGH THE material owes its
strength to its writers, it is the singer's voice
that draws the listener into the tune and
leaves one wanting more.
Admittedly a taciturn man, Williams is
probably the best country singer since the
late Marty Robbins, captivating his audience
with his mellow style and peaceful aura.
From "Stay Young" to "I'll Take Your
Love Anytime" to the title track, "Yellow
Moon" offers nothing but poignant songs.
There is nothing pop, nothing fancy and
nothing fake about the music ? there is only

"Yellow Moon" is Williams' best album
since his 1980 LP "I Believe in You." The
songs here represent the finest in country
music. The only problem the album may
realize is the question of which cuts should be
released first as singles. As the years go by,
Williams just keeps on getting better.
