Don Williams : Tulsa Time
On January 8, 1979 'The Gentle Giant", Don Williams, was celebrating his eighth #1 country music hit, "Tulsa Time". It was written by Danny Flowers, seen below playing lead guitar in a red jumpsuit, and also recorded by Eric Clapton on his 1978 album Backless and on his live album Just One Night. That version hit US#30 in 1980, the year Williams appeared as himself in Smokey and the Bandit II.
Country music fans were then complaining that the song sounded too much like rock 'n'roll. They wouldn't recognize what country music sounds like today.
