4.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Collection of Covers, December 29, 1999

I was just given this album by my mother for Christmas, and while I might not have thought to buy it for my self, I'm certainly glad someone else did. I might have liked it even more had Williams strayed a little farther from the original arrangements, but I understand his reasons for not doing so, and it's a minor quibble at best. What I can't fault at all is his interpretation, especially on "Reason To Believe" and "Games People Play," which I've never particularly liked before, as well as on others like "Crying In The Rain" and "If You Could Read My Mind." Not quite a classic, and maybe not representative of Williams, but well worth repeated listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don does all of these selected covers justice, November 17, 1998

While I always enjoy Don Williams originals, 3 or 4 of my favorite Williams' recordings appear on this disc. He covers classic rock tunes such as Cat Stevens "Peace Train," and James Taylor's Folk-Rock tune, "You've Got a Friend." Other standouts include "Crying in the Rain," "Games People Play," and "Fever." I highly recommend this disc to any Don Williams fans, Country music fans, or just plain old music fans looking for a great CD! Buy it, you won't regret it!

They may be "borrowed," but Don Williams makes them his own. A truly wonderful album, one I listen to over and over again.
