Don Williams
Country Music Hall of Fame member
Don Williams will release
And So It Goes, his
first album since 2004, on June 19.
Keith Urban,
Vince
Gill and
Alison Krauss make guest appearances on the Sugar Hill Records project
that reunites Williams with producer Garth Fundis. Krauss appears on a duet titled "I Just Come Here for the Music." Williams,
72, has curtailed his touring schedule in recent years and agreed to return to the studio following encouragement from his
management company and the label. "I didn't do this album because I just felt that I was going to die if I didn't do another
one but because of all of that encouragement to do it," he said. "So here we are -- and now I'm feeling good about it." During
the '70s and '80s, Williams topped
Billboard's country chart with 17 singles, including "You're My Best Friend," "Till
the Rivers All Run Dry," "Tulsa Time" and "I Believe in You." In recording the new album, Fundis said, "We weren't looking
to reinvent Don -- just to make a good new Don Williams record."
