Und das sagen Kollegen über Leona Williams:
'Leona Williams is a great singer. She sings with a lot of soul. I know her family must be very proud of this Bear Family box set. I wish her a lot of happiness and success.' - Willie Nelson
'When I listen to Leona Williams sing it goes right to my heart, I can feel every emotion that she puts in a song. In my opinion Leona Williams is one of the greatest songwriters of our time. My only regret is that I don't get to see her enough, but when I do it's an honor to be in her presence. I am so excited because I'd like to do a whole damn album of her songs, even though I am a little scared I couldn't do them justice, but guess what?.....I'm gonna try!' - Tanya Tucker
'Leona Williams.....the purest voice this side of the Mississippi and beyond! Skillfully crafts songs from a woman who has lived through the lyrics she writes. My heart-felt thanks for creating this traditional country music collection! I love your music and the honesty it brings.' - Rhonda Vincent
'Leona Williams is the greatest female country singer that has ever stepped up to a microphone. She can make a grown man cry with her sad songs. I love the lady and her music. What a nice lady!' - George Jones 'Leona will always be one of my very favorite people in the world. She was the first artist that ever thought enough of one of my songs to record it. And that feeling of having one of your own songs recorded by someone else has lasted a lifetime.' - Vince Gill
Wenn es in den Annalen der Country Music je eine über allen anderen stehende Sängerin, eine 'Singer’s Singer' geben sollte, dann müsste das Leona Williams sein. Sie zählt allgemein zu den besten Sängerinnen auf dem Gebiet unverfälschter Country Music und unterhält weiterhin bei weltweiten Tourneen ihre treuen Fans. Ihr persönliches Vorbild als Sänger, George Jones, beschrieb Leona Williams einmal als 'eine der großartigsten Country-Sängerinnen, die je auf ein Mikrofon zuging.' Merle Haggard war derart von Leona Williams' Gesangsfähigkeiten beeindruckt, dass er sie heiratete, eine Verbindung, die beide später bereuen sollten. Leona Williams' Karriere begann im Teenageralter mit ihrer eigenen Show bei einem lokalen Radiosender in ihrem Heimatstaat Missouri. Bald darauf zog sie nach Nashville, wo sie 1968 einen Vertrag bei Hickory Records unterschrieb und Klassiker wie Once More, Yes Ma'm (He Found Me In A Honky Tonk) und Country Girl With Hot Pants On aufnahm. Leona Williams wechselte zu RCA Records und danach zu MCA, wo sie mit ihrem späteren Ehemann Merle Haggard und erstklassigen Produzenten wie Porter Wagoner zusammenarbeitete.
Diese Edition enthält insgesamt 82 Titel, allesamt Klassiker – sämtliche Studioaufnahmen für Hickory einschließlich etlicher zuvor unveröffentlichter Aufnahmen sowie ein komplettes Album, das 1986 von Tompall Glaser produziert wurde. Eine genaue Diskografie und auf ausführlichen Interviews mit Leona Williams basierende Linernotes von Randy Fox erzählen die Geschichte ihres unglaublichen Lebens und ihrer Karriere.
