American CMT (Country Music Television) has appropriately deemed it "The Sgt. Peppers Of Country Music." ‘Red Headed Stranger’ gave Nelson both an enduring nickname, and the crown jewel of his extraordinary discography. Its leanness has helped it float through the years, becoming an otherworldly, timeless classic. THE outlaw country album, ‘Red Headed Strangers’ bare-bones sound was the perfect antidote to the glitzy Nashville Sound dominating the airwaves in the mid-'70s, and lent an understated majesty to this tale of a wandering preacher in the Old West. If Nelson had only recorded this one album, he would still deserve to be in the Country Music Hall Of Fame.
Ride Me Back Home is another incredible addition to Willie Nelson's legendary catalog that finds him working once again with producer Buddy Cannon. Ride Me Back Home sits beside 2017's God's Problem Child and 2018's Last Man Standing as a trilogy of superior songcraft exploring ideas of mortality with wisdom, empathy and a winking love of life. Nelson and Cannon co-wrote a handful of songs but also call on their favorite songsmiths… great writers with great stories to tell: Sonny Throckmorton, Guy Clark, Mac Davis, Buzz Rabin. The result is a magical collection of tunes with emphasis on the lyric. Backed by an amazing band of Nashville gunslingers, Ride Me Back Home finds Willie Nelson making some of the most inspired work of his career.

Popis:
Four of legendary Outlaw Country singer Willie Nelson’s collaborations, dating from 1980, 1982 and 1985. ‘San Antonio Rose’ was a US Country Top 3 album whilst the single ‘Faded Love’ made No. 3 on the Country Singles chart. ‘Old Friends’ with Roger Miller was a US Country Singles Top 20 hit also. Willie Nelson is still very much alive and kicking at the grand old age of 92! Digitally remastered and slipcased. With extensive new notes.
‘Songbird’ is the fifty-fifth studio album by Willie Nelson. It was produced by contemporary country rock musician Ryan Adams. Adams, along with his band The Cardinals, performed on the album's eleven tracks. This album features a rocking background of electric guitars, a bluesy beat, and a gospel chorus. There's some very interesting selections here: Christine McVie's "Songbird", Gram Parsons' "$1000 Wedding", and Willie’s version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". You wouldn’t think this one would work, but he makes it work. Only two brand new compositions, Nelson's "Back To Earth" and Adams' "Blue Hotel", appear on ‘Songbird’. Willie and Ryan, it worked!!!
‘Stardust’ is the twenty-second studio album by Willie Nelson and it spans the genres of pop, jazz, and country. This is an album of covers of traditional pop songs, but the primary impression it leaves is neither country nor traditional pop. Instead, the key is the tasteful production by Booker T. Jones, swinging but understated percussion, warm bass, and bluesy keyboards. Willie’s weary outlaw vocals and sublime guitar picking fit it like a glove. ‘Stardust’ was on the Billboard Country charts for over ten years, was certified quintuple platinum, won a Grammy Award and the album was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame. It’s an album that still grows stronger with each passing year.
