Bargain Audio CDs & Priceless Collection (series)

Certified Hits

by Willie Nelson

Product Description:

Digitally remastered by Bob Norberg & Rob Christie (Capitol Mastering).

This anthology collects some of the fruits of Willie Nelson's failed early-1960s attempt to record some hits for himself on the Liberty record label with slickly produced versions of his now-legendary songs. His recording of "Crazy," the Patsy Cline hit, is reflective and semi-narrated, while the wonderful "Hello Walls" includes shimmering vibes and echoing backing vocals. The most striking fact about this collection is how well Nelson's songs hold up, no matter what arrangement they're given--the hallmark of a true master songwriter.
