Coming , sandwiched , between the acclaimed " Across The Borderline " and hugely successful " Teatro " I find this both extremely strange , and very difficult to comprehend .
I think this is one of Willie Nelsons best offerings , the production , the mix , the harmonies , the musical accompaniments , musical arrangements and background vocals could not be bettered in any way , shape or form .
From the excellent opening and title track , written by Kimmie Rhodes , who also provides vocals throughout the album , the song and then the album grips totally and deserves attention .
I thought John Prine's version of Floyd Tillmans composition " This Cold,Cold War Wtith You " could not be bettered , but Willie Nelson's rendition here , achieves that with his interpretation , in his own inimitable style . Tillmans other composition on the album " Each Night At Nine " made you want to hum along , had you foot-tapping , smiling , and gave a happy , all encompassing- feeling from the first time time you heard it .
I like the humour on show within the album from the well known " Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette " to the footstomping " Eight More Miles to Louiseville " . There is certainly a wide selection of types of songs on this album , and all are expertly performed by Willie Nelson , and I felt a couple of them , namely , "Better Left Forgotten " and " It's A Sin " were so good I felt they had been written especially for him . He shows his adaptability further with the jaunty " Bonaparte's Retreat " which he performs , I am sure , with a big smile on his face .
Yes , definately something for everyone on a most enjoyable album which deserves much more credit than it has recieved so far . If you like and enjoy any Willie Nelson album, the I assure you , this will satisfy your taste...you will not be dissappointed .
If you are keen to try Willie Nelson , but not quite sure where to start , then try this ( or "Across The Borderline )---like the fans I am sure you will thouroughly enjoy this exceptional album by a master of his craft .
