"Real" Nelson,The Way It Was Meant To Be

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: It's no wonder these recordings sound so good ,there's Jerry Reed,Grady Martin,playing guitar,Jimmy Day on steel,and other well known studio musicians on board with Willie , with his fourteen written songs,and his flat baritone voice. One thing I never liked about Willie's early recordings were the background singers and the orchestration,and now we get to hear the clean product,"without" or"naked",remastered and remixed. Most of the songs were seldom heard on here,recorded 1966 to 1970, and one song that really stands out,"Jimmy's Road" describes a kid growing up in a hometown ,eventually goes off to war, and learns to kill, until the soldier reaches his own fatal end,an unsung hero,a remarkably written song from Nelson,"The Ghost" is another song written about a haunting love from the past coming back,only to disappear again through the darkness of the night. One of the few covers on here,the Kristofferson standard,"Sunday Morning Coming Down" is the best version of this tune I've ever heard,if not the most original. The song starts with the bridge or chorus,rather than the verse,not that it's never been done before,listen for the Marshall Tucker intro,and the tight arrangements,as Willie Nelson does Kristofferson real proud, like one of his own...I always knew Willie had a touch of Jazz,if you listen real close you'll hear it within these seventeen classic songs,a great Willie Nelson compilation,now it's high time for Willie unplugged. A brand new 2009 R.C.A. release straight from the archives,these recordings are "real" good.

Naked Willie

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: These are songs we aren't overly familiar with, and Willie's strong voice is a joy to hear. The songs are from the early 1960's and show his early giftedness.

Wille is the best
