    I feel this is a masterpiece. A man confessing his love and believing himself inadequate some how proves he has everything a woman would wish for (in the true love sense). It is phrased so laid back, so behind the beat, you'll think he's lying in a hammock. The Lloyd Green steel guitar...perfect

    Saw Don Williams twice in the UK, at the Coventry Theatre and at the Liverpool Empire. Bumped into him in the war ravaged remains of Coventry Cathedral where he was enjoying a cigarette. Being fans my then wife and my friends wife engaged him in conversation, before he responded the first thing he did was tread on his cigarette. What a gentleman, we got his full and undivided attention. A very ordinary and lovely man, no ego whatsoever.

      I think you'll find that Out of Town was a different show, The one with this theme was called Country Boy and both shows were with Jack Hargreaves, As far as I know there are no surviving episodes of Country Boy as all the tapes were wiped. Out of Town however is available on DVD as boxed sets. Similar in content. CB had Jack mostly showing a young lad the ways of the old English country life and just to confuse Jack also made a series called "Old Country"

    I agree with u Maureen. This guy can get you hooked up all day to his music and you will enjoy every bit of it. He is in a special class as a Country Music Singer. I particularly enjoy this 'I am A Country Boy' stuff. Niiice, coooollll music!!!
