A greatest-hits package from an artist who thrived on concept albums is a frightening proposition. Even the liner notes refer to him as the "all-time #1 country album artist." To top it off, much of Nelson's best work--Yesterday's Wine, Shotgun Willie, and Phases And Stages, for example--was commercially unsuccessful (not to mention on a different label). While Red-Headed Stranger and Stardust did make commercial inroads, they're best digested as single entities. With all that said, these Columbia chart toppers, which span from 1975 to 1989, still make for enchanting listening. By illustrating Nelson in his various moods---pop standards, honky tonk, cowboy, folk, gospel---it provides a worthwhile introduction, and will help newcomers decide where to move next. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews

Great CD, But Not the Best
This is a great collection of Willie's best songs. However, it leaves off the classic "Poncho & Lefty" without adding anything essential in return. For my money, Columbia's "Super Hits" collection is the best Willie Nelson sampler on the market.

One of the best CD's I won
If I were to recommend one Willie Nelson CD to have in my car it would be this one. Not one boring song on the whole CD. Willie is a unique singer who seems to have a talent for attracting listeners from all walks of life, ethnic, racial, etc leanings. Classy guy in my book and dang fun to boot.

Great music by a great artist. I great CD for those who have never bought his stuff to get a good feel for his sound.
