description: It doesn't seem like much of a mystery that Foy Willing's name should be Willing, or that his widow should be named Sharon, and that she is graciously sharing what she can of Foy in her new book No One to Cry To . Foy was so willing to offer and share much of his awareness of the many things that had been bestowed upon him and within him, not the least of which was music. Foy Willing was, and still is, an incredible source of inspiration for those blessed, like he, to pursue an understanding of the language of music. He spent his life learning all of the componentsCall of that which is found in a song. He so understood all the intricate pieces. This man always had room and time in his world for those who needed guidance. He was one of the most gifted talents of country and western music, while at the same time contributing in a major way to popular music, before the term "crossover" had ever been coined. Those who knew him can appreciate that, and those who never met him can now have that same opportunity. No One to Cry To makes it possible to have a more complete picture of the man who brought us some of the smoothest western sounds ever recorded.
