Correction: Thanks to Adam Steffey for pointing out that Ronnie Bowman is responsible for the outstanding vocal on “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends.” We’ve updated the review to reflect that info.

It takes a talented vocalist to tackle the Ronnie Milsap classic, “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends,” written by the great Kris Kristofferson.
