Willie Nelson – Origins: The Early Willie Nelson Collection (CD)
Product Details
Before Willie Nelson became the outlaw icon who redefined country music from his Pedernales ranch, he was a young songwriter in the 1950s and early '60s quietly writing tracks that other artists turned into hits. These recordings capture that restless, pre-fame period when his distinctively behind-the-beat phrasing and jazz-inflected guitar style were still finding their shape, making this collection essential listening for anyone who wants to understand how one of American music's most original voices actually developed.
Even the biggest artists in the world have an origin story. Whether you know him as 'Shotgun Willie', 'The Red-Headed Stranger', 'Booger Red' or something else entirely, few artists have such an extensive back catalog as exceptionally well documented as country legend Willie Nelson. Experience the Origins of a man that needs no introduction first hand with this remarkable collection of early recordings that would go on to be worldwide hits including 'A Moment Isn't Very Long', 'Face of a Fighter' and 'Happiness Lives Next Door'.
