5.0 out of 5 stars A couple of overlooked gems from the mid "80s, September 24, 2000

By A Customer

These two albums, thoughtfully compiled on a single CD by the good folks at DCC, represent the country reprobate Willie in fine form, recording with two of his idols and forebears. "In the Jailhouse Now" with Webb Pierce is the slightly stronger of the two albums, boasting a fine duet remake of the title tune and many other honky-tonk highlights. "Brand on my Heart" with Hank Snow is decidedly more old-school country-oriented. Both albums, out of print for years, feature fine remastered sound courtesy of ace archivist Steve Hoffman. Hopefully, DCC will soon reissue the other two duet albums Willie recorded during this period, including one with Faron Young.

4.0 out of 5 stars Three Country Greats, June 25, 2003

By	Kevin Fontenot (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Seems that just about everyone has recorded a duet with Willie Nelson, but few match the beauty of the duets he made with Webb Pierce and Hank Snow. All three of these men are fine real country singers who know how to present a song with sincerity and who also have a fine appreciation of talented others. The listener will not only hear great renditions of these songs, but also the respect these interpreters of song have for each other. These aren't hokey duets, these are the real thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Legends,Nelson,Pierce,and Snow, July 2, 2008

By	R. Webb "minstrel man" (u.s.a.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Willie Nelson,Webb Pierce pair up to make this legendary album,In The Jailhouse Now, - an original song from the singing yodeling brakeman,the 1920's - 30's first country superstar, Jimmie Rodgers. The album starts with,There Stands The Glass,Wondering,and, I Don't Care,mostly those old honky tonk Webb Pierce songs, rolling continuously with Jimmy Day on steel guitar. The collaboration of Nelson and Pierce make this album worthy of being an all time country music classic.-worth the price of admission alone. The second album on this DCC Sony remastered cd, is the team of Willie Nelson and Hank Snow,Brand On My Heart, featuring Snow hits,like their admirable duet ,I've Been Everywhere, as Nelson and Snow really hook this one, featuring other Hank Snow classics-Golden Rocket,I'm Movin'On,and,I Don't Hurt Anymore. Not only is Willie Nelson a fine guitar player, the native Canadian, singing ranger - Hank Snow, can also pick a note or two, as Nelson and Snow trade off lead, complimenting one another song after song... this cd is out of print,a seller from Amazon may have a deal at a good price.
