Daddy's Little Angel
Doc Williams
Quality Records SV 1849
1970
From the back cover: Carrying the title "A Living Legend" is a great and grave responsibility; but Doc Williams carries it well... with the utmost dignity, professionalism and sincere humility. Because Doc knows full well that it is the PEOPLE... the audiences who have been so faithful to him for so many years, that have MADE him this legend. And perhaps that's why the song Doc Williams sings are songs of and about the PEOPLE: those common, everyday situations and event that never make the front pages, but that affect and control the lives of all of us. But, after all, isn't that what country music is really all about? Isn't that what has made country music as well liked by so many people the world over?
Again in this great new album, beyond a doubt Doc's best, he is singing about PEOPLE and FOR people. The title song is a case in point: A real "slice of life" that well being tears to millions of eyes. Asked about "Daddy's Little Angel" written especially for this album by one of Doc's closest friends, Jack Jackson, Doc said "This is the most powerful song to come to me since Chickie recorded "Beyond The Sunset". You'll agree when you hear it. This great artist sang it like he sings every song... straight from the heart!
Doc KNOWS the people he sings to. Since 1937, for 33 consecutive years, he has been a star of "The World's Original WWVA Jamboree", now known as JAMBOREE USA. With this famous show being broadcast every Saturday night over 50,000-watt WWVA out of Wheeling, W. Va., the name and sound of Doc Williams is known to countless millions thru-out the north-east and all of eastern Canada. In addition, he gets out to the people, and his popular show has been seen "in person" in just about every corner of these 23 states and six provinces. In fact, to many people, Doc Williams and WWVA's Jamboree USA are most one-and-the-same. Those in music respect him for his continuing success as a business man, label-owner and publisher, but to Doc and his musical family (wife Chickie and daughters Barbara, Madeline and Karen), meeting and entertaining people is and always has been their first love.
"Daddy's Little Angel" is bound to be one of Doc's most popular albums. Not only is this a fine collection of songs, done in this straight-from-the-heart manner, but producer Billy Grammar gathered some of Nashville's top studio side-men for the sessions. After listening to Doc over WWVA, seeing him on Jamboree USA, or enjoying his show on one of his many tours, I'm certain you'll want to add this latest collection of his efforts to your own personal record library! – Quentin W.
