Don Williams ist wieder da, nein, er ist immer noch da. Mit immer wieder neuen Songs, ohne dabei seine alten zu vernachlässigen. Don Williams ist wie eine sanfte Brise in der lauten, großen Musikwelt. Damals wie heute ist und bleibt er etwas Besonderes, eben "der Riese mit der sanften Stimme".
Übrigens sein Markenzeichen, den Hut, hat er damals von der 20th Century Fox für die Dreharbeiten zu dem Film "W.W. & The Dixie Dance Kings" (1975) bekommen. Seitdem geht Don nicht mehr ohne aus dem Haus. Die Stetson Hat Company of St. Joseph hat für Don im Laufe der Jahre natürlich schon Duplikate hergestellt.
2006 kam Don Williams zum letzten Mal nach Europa, um auf Tournee zu gehen. seine Farewell-Tour fand ausschließlich in Großbritannien und Irland statt, da sich hier auf dem Festland kein Veranstalter fand.
2010 nahm die Country Music Association (CMA) Don Williams in die Country Music Hall of Fame auf.
