What can you really say about an American legend who still makes worthwhile music? Plenty of Willie Nelson's musical brothers are churning out poor albums and starring in Victoria's Secret commercials, but Nelson continues to make good music, and even a greatest hits CD is worth your money.
This album is particularly worth your money if you like live music because it's Nelson's hits through the years, and not one concert recorded for a CD. Instead of feeling like you missed out on a great concert, you'll feel like you're listening to Nelson throughout his career – because you are.
“Touch Me” was released in 1962, and “Angel Flying Too Close to The Ground” in 1981. The rest of the album skips around this way, giving you a little taste of each year of Nelson's career, skimming his singles, and letting you listen to the best tracks he's recorded, including a few previously unreleased tracks.
If you've been a fan of Nelson's anytime during his almost sixty year career, then you'll love this new release. Even if you have all of his live albums and have seen him in concert, it doesn't matter – this CD is filled with fresh material and won't disappoint.
