5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time., August 8, 2003

This is a great reissue of Willie's 1971 RCA concept album, digitally remastered, with excellent liner notes, recording dates, sessionography, and orginal artwork. Producer Felton Jarvis defeated RCA's 10 track limit for the album by creating two medleys in order to include all 12 songs. Far ahead of its time, the album opens with a conversation between God and a soul preparing for birth. An Editor's Note in the original artwork states that all the songs except 'Family Bible' were written by Willie Nelson. The editor had apparently not heard the story about Willie selling that song in a bar for fifty bucks. The album, largely ignored by the music idustry and consumers when released, is now widely regarded as a masterpiece. It is an essential album for Willie Nelson collectors and fans.

One of Willie's most underated album. Great songs all the way through it. Family bible, Me and Paul and Yesterdays Wine are some of Willie's best. If you liked Shotgun Willie, Phases and Stages and Red headed you'll love this one too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Country genius, February 25, 2004

I picked this album up on a whim, and I have to say that it has become one of my favorite folk/country albums. This concept album tells the story of one man's life from birth to death in a deeply spiritual and moving way. The songwriting is second to none, and the production values took me by surprise, especially considering that the entire album was written and recorded inside of a week. This is a must for any fans of folk or outlaw country, or anyone who is looking for one of the best concept albums of all time.
