Details: Time seems to have stood still for Don Williams. His first major-label release in five years has the gentle, traditional classicism that made him one of the biggest-selling country singers of the '70s. Once again every emotional piece is in place: the musicianship is acoustic, fresh, and picturesque, and Williams's deep, liquid phrasing and completely unaffected songwriting--as well as smart song selection, notably Kevin Welch's "Something 'Bout You"--have aged with mellow warmth. The elegiac story "Pancho," told from the convincing perspective of an aging Cisco, sounds like a lament for today's country music as much as a timeless outlaw ballad. "Pancho, don't you like me no more?" Williams sings. "Because, Pancho, we're heading towards our end." Even if radio finds Williams too old for airplay, lovers of country at its most introspective and subtle will find Williams's light, magical touch as inviting as ever. --Roy Kasten
