Stardust (W/2 Bonus Tracks)»rank: 6769par: Willie Nelson
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Willie Nelson has never been one to do the safe or expected, and this Booker T. Jones-produced album of pop standards from the '30s and '40s certainly fits the profile. lt's also one of the better albums of Nelson's career, allowing Willie to dip his fragile, quivering tenor all around the beat in songs like 'All of Me' and 'Unchained Melody.' Jones's organ, piano, and string arrangements are low-key and swinging (except on the ... |

Red Headed Stranger»rank: 3378par: Willie Nelson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Saddle up, and let Willie Nelson take you on a mellow 33-minute trot through the 0ld West. Before this sparkling concept album Nelson had been known primarily as a songwriter, having penned hits such as 'Night Life,' 'Crazy,' and 'Hello Walls.' 0n this 1975 record, he creates a lonely and plaintive mood with an almost childlike lullaby quality. 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain' thrust him into the spotlight, but ballads such as 'Time of ... |

Teatro»rank: 13965par: Willie Nelson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The first words from Willie Nelson's lips, 'The sun is filled with ice and gives no warmth at all / the sky was never blue,' warn the listener something is happening here. ln a converted Mexican movie theater, producer Daniel Lanois surrounds the 65-year-old Nelson with the most startling and assured musical vision of his career: lush, rippling guitars, and swelling, splashing drum tracks, doubled and tripled over, sometimes in a Latin mood. Lanois allows ... |

16 Biggest Hits»rank: 7887par: Willie Nelson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :A greatest-hits package from an artist who thrived on concept albums is a frightening proposition. Even the liner notes refer to him as the 'all-time #1 country album artist.' To top it off, much of Nelson's best work--Yesterday's Wine, Shotgun Willie, and Phases And Stages, for example--was commercially unsuccessful (not to mention on a different label). While Red-Headed Stranger and Stardust did make commercial inroads, they're best digested as single entities. With all that said, ... |

To Lefty From Willie»rank: 10271par: Willie Nelson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Lefty Frizzell remains one of the most underappreciated artists in all of country-music history; therefore, it's no surprise that this little jewel of an album remains one of the most underappreciated in Nelson's vast catalog. Recorded in the peak Nelson year of 1975 (but not released until 1977), To Lefty from Willie puts his personal stamp on the Frizzell catalog while still upholding the spirit of the source material. This balancing act is tough for ... |

Live And Kickin»rank: 6905par: Willie Nelson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The great Willie Nelson tends to either thrill or sorely disappoint, depending on the kinds of projects he takes on--and his decision to be either a musician or a celebrity. This live recording, culled from his 2003 USA Network concert event, unfortunately falls into the latter category, and Nelson sounds as if he arrived just before show time and plunged in without rehearsing. 0n the album's opener, 'l Didn't Come Here (And l Ain't Leavin'),' ... |
