Today, we're doing an old country and western song. Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma by Don Williams. Without a doubt, my favorite song by Don Williams that he ever recorded in his career.

Don Williams was someone I grew up listening to as he was my dads favorite singer of all time. I saw him in concert numerous times over the years and I remember loving this song from a very young age.

To be honest, I'm not sure why it's my favorite, as I like most everything Don Williams has ever sung and recorded, but this one has just always stuck with me. I even got Don to sing it live in concert one year for me at the Tin Hall in Cypress, TX. A song he actually never played live until that day. To my knowledge, it's the only time he ever did it live, which makes this song even more special to me.

If you like old country and western music, then I urge you to listen to this song, or to at least listen to Don Williams, especially his big hits, which he had a LOT of them.

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma
It's gone forever and never looks back
