New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Kirt Webster, President of Webster Public Relations, is proud to announce the recent addition of a pair of Country
Music veterans for publicity representation with the signings of Rex Allen, Jr. and Don Williams to their roster.
A second-generation superstar, Allen is the son of legendary singing cowboy Rex Allen - known for his movies and hit records such as "Don't Go Near The Indians." Rex began following in his father's musical footsteps at age six. He first hit the Billboard singles chart in 1973 with the story song "The Great Mail Robbery."
Future hits included "Two Less Lonely People," "No, No, No (I'd Rather Be Free)," and "Lonely Street." He also paired with Margo Smith for the memorable collaboration "Cup O'Tea" in 1981. Allen also composed the alternate state anthem of Arizona, simply titled after the state. A one-time cast member of TNN's The Statler Brothers Show, Allen also co-hosted the spinoff, entitled Yesteryear. He also served as narrator of the Jim Carrey film Me, Myself, and Irene, continuing another Allen family tradition as his father served the same role on many Walt Disney films. www.RexAllenJr.com
Don Williams stands tall as one of the most-admired male voices in the Country format of all time. His warm and easy baritone earned him the nickname "The Gentle Giant." A
Texas native, Williams first tasted success as a member of The Pozo- Seco Singers in the mid 1960s, with such singles as "Time." The singer moved to Nashville in the early 1970s, signing with Cowboy Jack Clement's JMI Records. His first hit for the label was 1973's "The Shelter of Your Eyes." For the next two decades, Williams hit with one single release after another on JMI, ABC / Dot, MCA, Capitol, and RCA. His 1980 version of Bob McDill's "
I Believe In You" became just one of his many standards, crossing over to the Top-40 on the Hot 100. Two of his albums have been certified Gold, and one Platinum. But, the true measure of Williams' success can't be totally felt unless you talk about his international appeal. The 2010 Country
Music Hall of Fame inductee has successfully built fan bases in England, Australia and New Zealand. Williams just announced plans for his most extensive tour in years, with dates on the books through November. www.DonWilliams.com
