Willie Nelson Album: “Half Nelson”

I'm normally an album purist who doesn't buy a lot of compilations, but this one makes sense to get. I don't know anywhere else to get the Neil Young duet "Are There Any More Real Cowboys?", which is fantastic. The other incredible songs on this compilation are "Seven Spanish Angels" (available on various Ray Charles collections) and "Pancho and Lefty" (also on the album of the same name, but this is a better buy). Every song is at least decent, though the Hank Williams "duet" is totally unnecessary just like his all the Hank Williams fake duets with his songs and grandsons.

If you like this era of songs, give this one a listen. I record what I like and save the CD for future use. Try it and see if you agree.

I though it was a great blend of music he did with other people. It makes you realize just how amazing Willie is and how he can diversify himself.

I love this CD so much I have had it playing on my car CD for months. I usually repeat "Seven Spanish Angels", the selection Willie sings with Ray Charles, every time I play it.
