Willie Nelson, the star who wasn't supposed to be


I've got a couple of his Greatest Hits albums, and when I play them for visitors it's interesting to see how involving they are. What are some of Willie's favorites for you?

Oh man, I could go on and on. I am a huge Willie fan, and have quite a good chunk of his albums.

Two great early albums:

Phases and Stages; Shotgun Willie

These albums have many of his classics on them, along with many great songs many have never heard.

Stardust: This may have to be his “prettiest” album. The perfect album to turn the lights off too and sip your adult beverage of choice.

Willie and Family Live: This is probably the best “party” album from Willie. Many of the songs are done a little faster than the studio versions. It also gives you a peak of how great his live shows are.

Two recent albums: Songbird; It Always Will Be

I really enjoy both of these albums. Both are fairly “raw” with many tracks that have a nice “bluesy” feel.

Again, I love just about all of his work, but these albums will give a great look into what Willie has to offer.
Completely agree Psacanli. The sound of his music, and just his presence, is truly something special.
