Willie Nelson – Greatest Hits (CD)
Product Details
Willie Nelson has been bending the rules of Nashville since before most of the city's current stars were born, and his catalog remains one of country music's most lived-in bodies of work. A founding father of the outlaw country movement, he carries a phrasing sensibility rooted as much in jazz and blues as in traditional country, which is why his songs translate across genres and generations with such ease.
This new collection is a career spanner jampacked with 22 songs, with each era of Willie’s illustrious six decade career chronicled. It includes massive hits like “On The Road Again,” “Always On My Mind” and “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain” next to a number of his 21st century gems, including latter day classics like “Ride Me Back Home” and “Roll Me Up.” It features classic collaborations with the likes of Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and Julio Iglesias, Willie’s early versions of songs made famous by others in the early 60s like “Crazy” and “Night Life,” alongside interpretations of others’ songs that he made his own from Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust” to Arlo Guthrie’s “City Of New Orleans” to Pearl Jam’s “Just Breathe.”
