Customer Reviews

Country to smoke a blunt to
One of my favorites... gives me the chills and makes me happy. I'm really not a fan of country/western,, i usually like hip-hop, jazz, or rock... anything that isn't country. But MyGAWD, this is good....

Ahem,,so i know I'm no good at writing reviews, but wtf., I hope this is helpful anyway, because if I could, I'd play the album for you right now and you'd probably dig it.

Now to that review that had the 'maybe for background music' remark - yeah, I don't know, that's weird, cause when I listen to this album, I like to listen to it very loud. Its just so effortless and perfect.

Anyway, I don't normally write reviews,, but this one just doesn't have enough praise and I hope that it gets more.. but oh well, it's a wonderful album no matter how many people know about it.

A Sweet (and Late) Delight
I heard this on our community radio this week (WOMR on Cape Cod) and I thought that I had heard every Willie Nelson record. This was a sweet (and late)delight. The recording was made in 1987 and both singers are at the top of their form. This is an absolutely effortless album. There is some wonderful duets and some really outstanding instrumental work on this CD. I would have traded the "Yesterday" cut for any number of Nelson or Haggard songs but the remaining cuts are top rate. I would recommend this CD to any Willie Nelson fan and it may turn on a few folks to (Mighty) Merle Haggard that haven't given him a chance. I recommend this one from a true Willie fan.

Good for fans of the stars or maybe for background music ?
Two of country's finest veteran stars come together once again on this little known album . The opening and title track is a smouldering ballad where Willie Nelson's resonant vocal tones are as dependable as always and he is ably complemented by Merle Haggard . This really sets the tone for a slow , dreamy, relaxing and sometime romantic album .

The " Lennon and McCartney composition " Yesterday " needs no introduction and is certainly one of the best tracks on the album .For me other highlights include " If I Could Only Fly " and "Why Do I Have To Choose ". I also thought that Merle Haggard's " Silver Wings " was well performed with an interesting mid-song musical interlude where they transfer vocals from Merle Haggard to Willie Nelson and ending with both .

When I play this album I always , for some unknown reason , seem to think of the earlier " Pancho and Lefty " album ( see my review ) which has the same artists but has a different ambience and style which I think would appeal to a wider audience , unlike this album .

This offering is good for fans of its two stars but other than the odd track I am unsure if it would appeal to a more general audience for anything more than background music .
