Background
Williams was no stranger to the country music scene, having been a member of the Texas band The Pozo Seco Singers from 1964-1970.[6] He left the music industry briefly, but returned in 1973 with his solo debut, Don Williams Volume One.[7] Williams had signed with JMI records initially as a songwriter, but later at the encouragement of its founder, Jack Clement, recorded a full length album produced by songwriter Allen Reynolds.[8] It was a strong debut, reaching number five on the 1973 Country Albums Chart,[9] and it had two top 20 country singles.[10]
Six months after the release of his debut album, the formula for success was repeated for Don Williams Volume Two, including producer Allen Reynolds, and many of the same A-Team Nashville studio musicians, notably steel guitarist Lloyd Green, fiddle player Buddy Spicher and drummer Kenny Malone.[7]
Legacy
This would be Williams' final recording with JMI records, which was sold to ABC-DOT Records shortly after the release of the album.[7]
Allen Reynolds would go on to produce and write many successful country songs, including many of Crystal Gayle's biggest hits from the 1970s and 1980s.[11] The song "We Should Be Together," written by Reynolds, would go on to be the title track off of Gayle's 1976 country record.[12]
