Free Music Review: MY FAVORITE WILLIE NELSON ALBUM ! (and I've been listening to Willie for thirty years)
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't know if it's the medley or the memories. But The Sound In Your Mind (1976) is my favorite Willie Nelson album of 'em all. Yeah, I've got a sentimental connection here. This was my first Willie Nelson album, one that an old friend of mine had turned me on to and given me back in the late 1970s. It's one of Willie's very best albums, if not the best.
It opens with the lazy 1949 Frankie Laine hit That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day) which is followed by an energetic honky-tonk version of Lefty Frizzell's If You've Got The Money (I've Got The Time). Then Nelson goes wonderfully slow and somber for three songs.
A Penny For Your Thoughts:
And it hurts me so to see the sorrow written on your face
And I hope and pray that some tomorrow I can take his place
Healing Hands Of Time:
Already I've reached mountain peaks, and I've just begun to climb
I'll get over you by clinging to those healing hands of time
Thanks Again:
I searched and found heaven and then lost it again
You were mine for a little while, so thanks again
The bluesy love song I'd Have To Be Crazy is one of the better songs here, and brightens the mood with a gospel-like feel. Willie does a laid-back version of Amazing Grace, and the spiritual feeling isn't lost at all.
The album closes with what I consider to be the highlight of Willie Nelson's recording career, a medley of three of his classics, Funny How Time Slips Away/Crazy/Night Life. It's bluesy and boozy, includes plenty of worldly emotional substance, and features some of Willie's best guitar work ever. Of course, some of you might remember Crazy as being the Patsy Cline hit that Willie wrote early in his career as a songwriter in Nashville, before he moved back to his native Texas, started over, and became a superstar.
The Sound In Your Mind isn't an album that jumps right out at you. None of Willie's music is like that. We're talkin about one of the most laid-back people on the planet here. Willie doesn't compete for your attention, you either like him or you don't. I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess. The arrangements are sparse, spacious, and unhurried almost to the point of being stubbornly Texas slow and stoned (Willie's been known to do that, too). I like the leisurely pace of Willie's music. The music doesn't overwhelm the reflective spirit of the songs, and Willie's country-jazz singing-on-the-backbeat style and Spanish nylon-string guitar always take center stage. If you're a Willie Nelson fan, don't go without this one.
