I usually don't review Best Of albums. However, with this K.C. Williams production, I am happy to do so. First, you just have to love this friendly nice guy from Wisconsin and second, his motto "Let's Go Beyond The Color And Unite The Country" probably never had more actuality and truth than at the time I am writing this review: Just two days before the inauguration of America's first african-american President, Barack Obama. You would think that K.C. had a vision when he created his mission statement many years ago.

The album represents a great overview on K.C.'s work, which resulted so far in three productions, House Husbands, City Boy and Without A Doubt. Four of the totally sixteen songs are new ones. Among them is You Shot Me Through The Grease, an exceptional duet with the talented singer Cynthia Mae Talley.

So if you did not know K.C. Williams until now, go and buy this Best Of production. It may well be that you emerge as a new fan of the singer and you go out and buy the other CDs after listening to this one. Because one thing is for sure: K.C. Williams sings with his heart on the line and this feeling can even be experienced by listening to a shiny CD.
