Just a country boy. Don Williams. Finished

[Charlie E]

Any old country music fans recognize this velvet voiced "just a country boy" singer yet? I wore his greatest hits 8 track out in the late 1970s. He passed away about 5 years ago. I suppose his kids inherited his "silver in the stars, and gold in the morning sun".

Love Merle but it’s not him.

Ricky Skags did a song with those lyrics.  But I think he is still alive.

John Denver but he died more than 5 years ago.

Of course I'm going by memory and have not searched online.

As for 8 tracks I have repaired many of these that got too tight to play.

Yep, Ricky did I’m Just A Country Boy At Heart. The full lyric of the song I’m referring to may help you out. “I’m just a country boy, money have I none. But I’ve got silver in the stars, and gold in the morning sun…gold in the morning sun.” 8 tracks were awful. Half the time you could hear two songs at once. Usually had at least on song that changed tracks in the middle of the song.

That’s him.

The Gentle Giant.  He's right behind Merle as my all time favorites.

Well done!  I've always liked country music and most of
the new artists don't really qualify as country singers to me.
Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Sorry, but not into country music, but you really captured the image.

Fantastic job.  I saw Don Williams perform may moons ago and he just sat on a rocking chair and sang one song after another.

I just don't want to show to my wife as Don Williams is one her absolute favorites. 

Thanks for posting
