Comment on Don Williams: And So it Goes by Maureen

Another wonderful CD from the Gentle Giant! I have all but the very early recordings & wish they were still available. His songs are always meaningful & mostly upbeat. I’m always in a better mood when I listen to my Don Williams music. I love his live concerts because they don’t have all the hype used by so many. He just sits on the stage & sings & that’s exactly what I want him to do. Don’t know how anyone can hear this voice & this music & not absolutely love it!

Brad,

Love Don Williams and what his songs say. Hope you get your chance – don’t give up your dream. If you don’t try you will regret it in the future. Take it from someone who had her dreams taken away.

Good Luck in the future,

Me…………………

Donna

Glad you enjoyed it. There are many fine albums behind well-known one-hit wonders. Streaming music services like Rdio, MOG, Rhapsody and Spotify are a low-cost way to explore. Pick a one-hit wonder from the '60s or '70s and see if they have any albums or compilations. You'll be amazed at what you can find. Try looking for The Stampeders or Gallery, for example (though these are more country-rock than blue-eyed soul). Still, they show bands with one well-known hit who actually recorded many more worthwhile cuts.

This is quite a discovery! I’m a huge fan of the late 60′s-early 70′s blue-eyed soul stuff. I’ve got the 22 track import release and every track is simply wonderful. How have I not heard of these guys until now? Thanks for your great blog and I’ll be spreading the “Christie” cheer from hence forward.
Believe the hype!
Thanks,
Spencer

A completely arresting version of the song. The slower tempo lets Campbell really reveal the soul inherent in the song, both in lyrics and melody. Until now i never particularly cared for this song — it seemed a bit brassy in character and shallow. With this version you can easily think about it in terms of the other greats song of place — Biloxi, Waterloo Sunset. And a great vocal performance too, Glenn at the peak of his powers. thank you for showing us this.

Unfortunately, both the MP3 edition reviewed here, and the CD edition linked in the review, seem to be out of print. You might be able to still listen to them on a streaming service like rdio.com or spotify.com, or find a copy on eBay.
