Format:Audio CD
Willie Nelson spent nearly two decades with Columbia, starting with his 1975 breakthrough (and first chart topper), Red Headed Stranger. He bounced around a number of majors and indies through the `90s and `00s, and now returns to the Sony fold via the company's Legacy division, an imprint known more for its vast array of catalog reissues than for new music. But as a heritage artist, it's a good fit, as Nelson revisits material from his catalog, chestnuts from the `30s and `40s, covers of recent pop songs, and new titles from his pen and that of his son, Lukas. The results are vital, and surprisingly coherent, if perhaps not always tightly focused. Covers of Pearl Jam ("Just Breathe") and Coldplay ("The Scientist") intermingle with Western Swing ("My Home in San Antone" and a terrifically jazzy "My Window Faces South"), `40s weepers ("Cold War with You"), and newly written originals.

The album's guests include Merle Haggard, Jamey Johnson, Billy Joe Shaver, Ray Price, and in a bit of stunt-casting, Snoop Dogg. Nelson's voice is more lined with frailty than in his prime, but his idiosyncratic phrasing plays well with the cracks in his tone. He's joined by his son Lukas on eight of the album's tracks, which is a bit much of the junior Nelson's higher, more nasal voice. More impressive are Lukas Nelson's original songs, including the father-son duet "No Place to Fly" and the painful memories continually resurfacing in "Every Time He Drinks He Thinks of Her." The elder Nelson's two new originals include the honky-tonk "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" and the western gospel "Come on Back Jesus," each describing an element of Willie's faith. Nelson's still raising hell, albeit in a quieter, more personal way, and drawing on more than fifty years of writing and singing, his music is aging gracefully. 3-3/4 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

5.0 out of 5 stars INSTA-Classic May 21, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Right up there with Stardust and Red Headed Stranger - Beautiful Songwriting, arrangements and musicianship. Snoop isn't rapping and his country interpretation on Roll Me Up is great! One review stated that Willie's vocals were breaking a bit with age, so I was amazed to hear him belting them out with abandon. Like the title of the review saysv-Insta-Classic. A must listen, must own album for a lover of Willie. Great songs all the way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxin Willie May 17, 2012
By Deeno
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Classic Willie; a relaxing concert just right for sitting down at night with a favorite beverage and dim lights. Roll Me Up will make you chuckle, Heros will make you wonder what's wrong with our world, and Come On Up to the House, with Sheryl Crow reminds me of the simple neighborhoods where we value our friends at the end of the day. Who doesn't like the smooth mellow voice of Ray Price? Easy on the ears and full of images that keep our life simple. Pour another glass, sit down on the porch, and relax with your Heros.
