2017 tribute to country music great Don Williams including performances by Pistol Annies, Brandy Clark, Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley, Chris Stapleton, Alison Krauss, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Trisha Yearwood, Keb' Mo' and Garth Brooks. 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 #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. 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.
