Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please

Willie and Family - "Live" from 1978. A really fantastic live double LP. Really, really good.

Well. you're probably going to get just about all of his albums recommended,  but if you don't mind slow tempos, his album with Ray Price, "San Antonio Rose" is a great one.  If you want something a little more uptempo, "Willie Nelson Sings Kristofferson" is another good one.  Great songs, great performances.

The Healing Hands of Time is one of my favorites from Willie.

Check out the often overlooked album called Spirit. I love it. Really well recorded and produced as well.  Shotgun Willy and Redheaded Stranger are also great.

Thank you and keep them coming in ......So is he in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ?

I checked the Inductees on the RnR HOF website. No Willie Nelson.....

He is in the Agriculture Hall of Fame for  his work on Farm Aid, though. Lot’s of greats not in the RRHOF.
Willie is god here in Austin.

But they have taken the time to nominate ; Rappers

I support Willie coz he fights for my rights to smoke weed and don't give a puck about his being part of RRHOF or not.
I'd also pick on Willie And Family to my favorite album as mentioned here before. 

Yes, I strongly second Spirit, a great great record.  

December Day - with his sister Bobbie Nelson on the piano - great album.

To all the Girls - Duets with various Women - Great Album too

Good Listening

His newest, "God's Problem Child" is my favorite, right up there with "Red Headed Stranger", and I have most of his music for comparison. His voice and his choice of songs just keeps getting better.

Milk Cow Blues - duets with other artists

"Phases and Stages" is rather interesting--one side of the LP gives the woman's point of view of a disintegrating marriage and the other side gives the man's.   Also, it includes that great tune "Bloody Merry Morning." 

 

Thanks Sfar, great recommendation.  I was not even aware of that album.  Just gave it a listen via Tidal.

 "Red Headed Stranger" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One would be hard-pressed to find a bad WN album.

WN boxed sets are very good as well.
Happy Listening!

I have been absolutely addicted to Willie lately. 
My top three right now are:
Spirit
Teatro
Red Headed Stranger
If anyone wants to hear a good tribute to Willie - Phosphorescent’s “To Willie” is a really solid album.
