Nelson Willie: It will always be 2004 [CD]

'Willie And Family Live' was recorded at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe, Nevada and features Willie Nelson at the peak of his career. The album opens (as most Willie Nelson concerts do) with a rocking version of "Whiskey River". Most of Willie's pre-1978 biggies are here. "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain", "Good Hearted Woman", "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys", "If You've Got The Money (I've Got The Time)." Willie does gospel, "Amazing Grace", "Uncloudy Day", "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" with help from Emmylou Harris and Johnny Paycheck. The "Redheaded Stranger's" vocals are strong and confident all the way through, and his late-70s backing band was among the best in the business at the time.

Cash Johnny: På Österåker 1973 [CD]

Nelson Willie: The Willie way 1972 [CD]

'Highwayman' is the first studio album released 1985 by country supergroup The Highwaymen, comprising Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. These men are legendary country music singers on their own, and when you combine them, you get something very special, a supergroup. The songs are mostly covers, drawn from a diverse selection of songwriters including Bob Seger ("Against The Wind"), Woody Guthrie ("Deportee"), Jimmy Webb ("Highwaymen"), Ed Bruce ("Last Cowboy Song") and Cindy Walker ("Jim I Wore A Tie Today"). There are also a couple of Johnny Cash oldies, "Big River" and "Committed To Parkview." A true masterpiece.

'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.
