The Heart of Texas Country Music Museum will host an album release party for Ron Williams
The Heart of Texas Country Music Museum will host an album release party for
Ron Williams on Saturday, September 8, at 1701 South Bridge Street in Brady,
Texas. The "picnic party" will be from 12:00 Noon until 2:00 PM and will
feature hamburgers and hotdogs. Several special guests are expected
including two that were featured on Ron's new CD-Leona Williams and Cathy
Lee.
"I have listened to Ron Williams 'Texas Style' over and over. For all those
REAL Country Music Fans like myself, it's like a cold drink of water when
you're thirsty. There's nothing better. I feel that as long as we have
Heart of Texas Records, young artists like my son, Ron Williams and
producers like Justin Trevino, we can all say 'Country Music Is Here To Stay
'." Leona Williams
Ron Williams "Texas Style" is the debut-recording project from Williams on
Heart of Texas Records.
"Texas Style" is filled with the kind of traditional hard-core country sound
that Williams grew up listening to while developing his own style.
Williams borrowed some classic songs from some legendary songwriters
including "Playboy" composed by Eddie Miller and Bob Moore, "Where Are All
The Girls I Used To Cheat With" by Whitey Shafer, "Somewhere Between"
written by step dad Merle Haggard and even a song contributed by his parents
Leona and Ron Williams Sr. "Anything Goes Till Everything's Gone."
Williams shines on some new songs that are destined to be classics including
two self-written songs including "Alone With You" and "The Best Man." He
also leans on producer Justin Trevino and Guyanne McCall's pen to add "This
Time We're Going To Make It" and "Texas Honky Tonk."
"I am especially proud of my two duets on the project," Williams said. "Mom
and I recorded 'Somewhere Between' for the album. We perform that song on
nearly every show that we do together, so it was a natural song for us to
record. My sister Cathy Lee also recorded 'This Time We're Going To Make
It' and did a great job."
"Texas Style" was produced by Justin Trevino and features Trevino on bass
and rhythm guitar. Bobby Flores contributed his magic fiddle to the project
followed by Jim Loessberg on drums, Ron Huckaby on piano, Dave Biller on
lead guitar and Johnny Cox on steel guitar.
"We are very proud of Ron's first album for Heart of Texas Records,"
President Tracy Pitcox said. "He is one of the greatest voices in Country
Music and his future is very bright. We are excited about being a part of
his great career."
"Texas Style" is a great blend of not only hard-core honky tonk, but also
touching ballads that round out an album filled with hard work in song
selection as well as powerful vocals by Williams.
"You would think that music would have been all I had ever done," Williams
said. "In fact, I really didn't find the courage to pursue music until
after high school. It's hard to raise your hand and say, "I want to be a
singer too", when you've grown up around the best. But once I stepped into
that studio and on that stage, it was over. I was hooked. Now after twenty
years of performing and writing songs, I'm still doing what I love. I spent
eight years as a staff writer at two major publishing companies here in
Nashville where I had several songs cut including Joe Diffie's 'Something
Like This'."
