One For The Road with Leon Russell
Willie Nelson
Price $ 11.97
It's worth the price of the entire album just to get one tune: Ridin' down the Canyon. If you've ever lived in
the Southwest, this song will give you goose pimples and maybe even bring tears to your eyes. It
evokes the romantic beauty of the Sonoran Desert like nothing else I've heard or seen.
And if you have a soft spot in your heart for old tunes and the old west, hearing Willie & Leon
harmonizing on Sioux City Sue and Don't Fence Me In will make you smile.

Pretty Paper
Willie Nelson
Price $ 9.97
The year 1978, when this graceful, laidback holiday selection was recorded, was a commercial and
artistic highlight for the redheaded stranger. The disc was produced by deep-soul giant Booker T., who
lends his considerable funk-tinged keyboards and arranging prowess to the session as well. Like
Stardust, the million-selling disc that Booker had also produced for Nelson that year, Pretty Paper is
an exercise in restrained--yet emotional--outlaw country. The highlight is Nelson's lovely take on
"Pretty Paper," a song he wrote and gave to Roy Orbison, who had a big hit with it in 1964. Meanwhile,
the many holiday songs simply sparkle with a relaxed, happy vibe. Nelson shows that you can sing
"Here Comes Santa Claus" and transform it into an unschmaltzy classic of mellow country boogie.
Really. (Well, he could.) --Mike McGonigal

This one is the red headed strangers life story. It'll go down in country music history as what Willie was all about (with "Phases and Stages" and "Shotgun Willie"). Pack it up for your trip to your desert island. It's a must!

San Antonio Rose with Ray Price
Willie Nelson
Price $ 9.97
This album should appeal to any lover of good writing, good singing and good musicians. In fact this
album sounds best loud.
The album consists of several country and western swing standards (San Antonio Rose, Faded Love)
as well as signature Ray Price songs (Night Life).
My favorite two tracks are Funny How Time Slips Away and Night Life which let Willie and Ray belt out
the blues.
The arrangements are incredible and the musicians are excellent. You really have to listen to this album
with head phones.
What is also great about this album is that Willie's and Ray's vocals (which alternate on every song,
sometimes coming together on the refrains) are both unique yet complement each other. You can tell
this was not a gimmick album designed to create consumer interest (as some duets are) but a real
collaboration of equals, lovingly put together.
If only there was more C&W music like this.
