Free Music Review: Country soul . . .
Hit: 5 Stars

I spent some time in the California desert in early August and had this CD in my car stereo most of the time. It was a perfect match. A compilation of 20 Willie Nelson recordings from over 40 years, from "Crazy" (1961) to "On the Road Again" (2002), these songs are now firmly rooted for me in images of that sun-baked time and place. His voice and the way he delivers a line of lyrics capture the desolation and stark beauty of that landscape and the realities of hard lives lived far from easy comforts and consolations.

In these songs, the human heart is almost an open wound. Its pain is undisguised in some songs ("Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain") and lurks under the surface of others ("Funny How Time Slips Away"). Even a simple children's song, "The Rainbow Connection," is a hymn in Willie's hands to yearning for deliverance from life's disappointments. The great Townes Van Zandt composition "Pancho and Lefty" is a lament of loss and irony; so is "Night Life." With a swelling chorus of backup singers, "Whisky River" becomes an anthem to the salutary effect of alcohol for a busted heart.

There's a few rollicking good-time numbers, my favorite being Bob Wills' classic "Stay All Night" and a terrific outlaw duet with Waylon Jennings, "Good Hearted Woman," sung to a wildly appreciative live audience. And, of course, "On the Road Again," which closes the set. Those sparks of high spirits, though, hardly dispel the rich, dark shadows that permeate the rest and portray the haunting, touching sensibility of the man who went his own way and gave us his own instead of the manufactured sentiments that flow from Nashville. You may not like everything on this CD (Willie's eclectic taste has been all over the map), but at its best, it just can't be beat for country soul.
