Willie Nelson Across the Borderline

4 Stars - Excellent - "...an album that seasons the singer's own brand of austere, hard-chugging country swing with echoes of everything from English art rock to Paul Simon's South African- flavored folk rock..."
"...In the blessed hands and throat of Nelson, the most pompous, didactic, overwraught hooey can feel as comfy and tender as a well-oiled baseball glove..."
Cited by Entertainment Weekly as one of 'The Best Country Albums Of 1993' - "...as clear-eyed a portrait of America as anything from John Dos Passos...."
Included in Q's list of 'The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...The old outlaw is back in the saddle again...."
4 Stars - Excellent - "...this album establishes a new benchmark in country celebrity roundups, so star-studded as to almost defy belief...covers considerable ground...brings full circle the finest traditions of two very different generations of Nashville songsmiths..."
Village Voice (3/1/94, p.5) - Ranked #22 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
