Free Music Notes for Stardust
Free Music Review: Stardust brings back memories
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a Willie Nelson fan, but this album really blew me away! What a tribute and a fresh take on the American songbook.Free Music Review: Still Great Music
Hit: 5 Stars
I had this album as an LP when it first was released and almost wore it out. The CD is still one of the best ever recorded with great standard and wonderful vocals by Willie Nelson . Free Music Review: Great
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is just as fresh, and better than when it came out. The old standards will never lose their appeal. Willie really pulls it off!

Free Music Review: Not A Big Willie Fan...
Hit: 5 Stars
I will preface my review by declaring that, for the most part, I am not a big Willie Nelson fan. And Willie singing standards? Seemed totally nonsensical when I first learned of the album's existence. However, in my opinion, this is clearly the best album he has ever produced (or will ever produce for that matter). Every single cut on the original album is superb. I agree with other reviewers regarding the bonus tracks on the re released CD --- they really are out of place with the balance of the tunes.
Bottom line: I'll give Willie credit where credit is due. This is a must-have CD for virtually any music lover. It (surprisingly) is one of those rare articles that bridges all kinds of gaps, e.g., generational, race, genre, etc... In a manner not unlike Brubeck's Take Five album did circa 1959-60. Enjoy this timeless masterpiece.
Free Music Review: The melody haunts my reverie.
Hit: 5 Stars
This was Willie Nelson's first album of pop standards. It features Willie's touring band, plus organist/producer Booker T. Jones. The songs are performed in an appealing country-jazz style. Willie proves to be a fine interpreter of this type of material. This is a really terrific album. This CD adds two bonus tracks, "Scarlet Ribbons" and "I Can See Clearly Now". Both songs are great, but they were left off of the album because they aren't really pop standards.
