Singer Don Williams was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame two years ago. About time. Country’s “gentle giant” had dozens of hits from 1974 to 1991. Of his 46 singles, only four failed to sneak into the Top 10 on the country charts. Williams called it quits in 2006 before coming out of retirement at his Tennessee farm in 2010. Now 73, he’s not just taking that baritone voice on tour again, he also has a new album, “And So It Goes.”
