Country Music Hall of Fame member Don Williams announced his retirement from performing last year, concluding an impressive five-decade career that includes two CMA Awards, two ACM Awards and 17 No. 1 hits. In honor of his legendary career, Williams’ longtime producer and friend Garth Fundis has produced a tribute album, Gentle Giants: The Songs of Don Williams, featuring an all-star lineup of artists including Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, Brandy Clark, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires, Alison Krauss, Lady Antebellum, Keb’ Mo’, Pistol Annies, John Prine, Chris and Morgane Stapleton and Trisha Yearwood. The 11-track album will be released on Slate Creek Records on Friday, May 26, in honor of Williams’ birthday the following day.

“It has been my privilege to work frequently with Don through the years, and I’m proud to honor him with this new project,” said Fundis. “All of the artists on the album have been huge Don Williams fans for years. It makes the entire project very personal and very meaningful.”

All guest artist performances on the album were generously donated in support of MusiCares®, the charitable foundation created by The Recording Academy, which provides a safety net of critical assistance for those in the music field in times of need. The services cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies. The foundation will receive a majority of the proceeds from the sale of the album.

In my opinion, her contribution to this compilation should've been Grammy award submitted...but sadly it wasn't.

Thats right, definite grammy stuff! Maybe she thinks she has enough already. What a song! Hey Holly have you been to the new Alison fan page on Facebook, it's called Alison Krauss Fans, the old page went out, the guy running it disappeared, you should go there and join up! We're all there!

^^^ Thanks for the invite! I am actually there already. I just haven't said anything over there yet. That kind of Face Book page I guess is still kind of new to me.

God bless you and Alison always!!!
