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?

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.

"Stardust" is my second favorite. Agree with the OP about people getting envolved with the Willie albums when I put them on.

The playing on his Moon Magic disc is pretty interesting and sounds great... any Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass or Tal Farlow fans will dig it. Sure hope he makes more records.
