Willie Nelson, the star who wasn't supposed to be


I've got a couple of his Greatest Hits albums, and when I play them for visitors it's interesting to see how involving they are. What are some of Willie's favorites for you?

I like Teatro for both the music and sonics. Stardust is very nice also, Willie in his somber/sober mood. I'm going to check out "Across the Borderline."
Pbb, The C/W recording bureaucracy told him his voice wasn't good enough. That's why all his early hits compositions were performed by others-say Crazy by Patsy Cline.
It was brought to my attention that I typed in the wrong year for Red Headed Stranger...should be 1975. This is Willie singing about his outlaw alter ego. Actually, it's hard for me to choose between RHS and Phases and Stages, from a year earlier. To me, one of these two is essential.
