Willie Nelson

| This straight reissue of Willie's second album (from 1966) proves that Nashville wasn't always unaware of how to handle him. Backed by the tightest and jazziest edition of Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubadors, Nelson previews things to come in the '70s while reviving 12 of his favorite Western swing standards and barroom ballads. Wade Ray, who uncorks hellacious fiddle solos on "Home in San Antone" and "Columbus Stockade Blues," is an added attraction. Willie is the very sound of sorrow and loss on gems like "I'd Trade All of My Tomorrows (For Just One Yesterday)," "Go On Home," and "Don't You Ever Get Tired (Of Hurting Me)." He also turns in a robust "Fräulein," starts "Seasons of My Heart" at the bottom of his range before modulating up effortlessly, and reaches way down for "Making Believe." Lead guitarist Leon Rhodes and steel man Buddy Charlton provide solid support and superlative soloing. |
