New Posthumous Music From Don Williams Forthcoming

Despite Country Music Hall of Famer Don Williams passing away in September of 2017 at the age of 78, fans of the superstar may not have to wait long to hear previously unheard music from the legend.

Fusion Music has partnered with Don Williams' long-time manager, Robert Pratt, to consult on business development for the Country Music Hall of Fame member's estate. And located in the press release on this new business deal - almost in a throwaway line- is a hint that new projects are on the horizon to delight fans:

"Details on a live music experience and new music are expected to be released soon."

With that simple line, excitement builds that there could be more to the Don Williams musical legacy. Are there recordings out there that didn't make albums?  Is there an album out there that didn't see a release?  

"Don Williams' iconic catalog of music continues to react with fans around the world," says Daniel Miller, Fusion Music Managing Partner. "His music has spanned more than five decades, and we're honored to support his legacy."

Williams was a dominating country hit maker throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, and continues to have one of the most-streamed catalogs from that era. Often referred to as the Gentle Giant because of his commanding presence and laid-back demeanor, Williams' distinctive voice and songwriting style cut across all music boundaries with hits including "We Should Be Together," "I'm Just A Country Boy," "Amanda," "It Must Be Love" and "Tulsa Time," making him one of the most-played artists on country radio. Williams recorded 35 albums, with more than 50 Top 40 Country and 17 chart-topping hits, including, "I Believe In You," which also ranked Top 30 on the Hot 100 all-genre charts. His songs have been recorded by country superstars Alan Jackson and Lee Ann Womack, as well as, rock legends Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton.

Williams was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010 and was a member of the Grand Ole Opry. In addition to his recording career, he appeared in the Burt Reynolds classic films W. W. and the Dixie Dancekings and Smokey & The Bandit II and appeared as a guest performer on The Dukes of Hazzard. While his legendary status in the U.S. is well-documented, Williams is a beloved international star, with a massive fan base spanning across the globe.
