5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential Willie, March 2, 2002

By 

Wendy Kaplan (Houston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Super Hits (Audio CD)

If you need a quick hit of Willie Nelson, your time is short, you have things to do...but you MUST HAVE the best of the best, this is the CD for you.

Every track on the CD is an old favorite, and there is simply nothing better. These are all vintage Willie Nelson greats, from "On the Road Again" to "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." Particularly poignant just now is "Pancho and Lefty," sung with Merle Haggard.

Nelson has, of course, sung these songs many times, live and recorded, and they appear on other CDs. But the versions gathered here are laid back, casual, and wonderful. It's almost like having him sitting in your livingroom, maybe sharing a brew or two, putting his booted feet up , and strumming his guitar, completely relaxed--completely wonderful.

My CD library would not be the same without this quintessential Willie Nelson must-have collection. I recommend it highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten classics at a budget price, September 30, 2003

This review is from: Super Hits (Audio CD)

Willie Nelson is, of course, a legend and while it is not possible to do full justice to Willie's music in such a short compilation, it is available at a budget price.

Blue eyes crying in the rain,. Always on my mind, City of New Orleans and Georgia on my mind had all been successful for other singers but Willie did each of them his way, breathing fresh life into them. Willie was also brilliant with original material, as he shows on My heroes have always been cowboys, On the road again and others. There is just one duet here - Pancho and Lefty (with Merle Haggard).

So this compilation only provides a brief introduction to Willie's music, but the songs here are well chosen. If you cannot afford a more expensive compilation, or you only like Willie a little bit, this will suit you.
