Willis Alan Ramsey With Special Guest Alison Ramsey

“Willis Alan Ramsey is living proof that reward and reverence come from quality, not quantity,” says Mario Tarradell of The Dallas Morning News. “You might not have seen him lately,” writes John T. Davis of The Austin American Statesman, “but if you’ve listened to Shawn, Lyle or Jimmie Dale, you’ve heard him.” And from No Depression, “Even if Ramsey had made a dozen more albums, this would still be the record that no home should be without.” “Everybody owned this record when I lived in Austin in 1977. That’s because it’s great and them Texans knew it. I think Lyle is great, but tell me he didn’t learn something from Willis.”—Shawn Colvin “I learned every song off his record. I went to see him every time he played, got tennis shoes like his. I wanted to be Willis Alan Ramsey.”—Lyle Lovett
