Disco de Willie Nelson: “Live at Billy Bob's Texas [DVD]”

Willie has been recording since the '50s. Here's a chance to see Willie performing at home in Texas. Willie is very underrated as a lead guitarist, and here you'll get to see Willie demonstrating his chops on "Trigger," his old guitar. This DVD has every classic Willie Nelson song you could hope to hear. The DVD has DTS sound, and the "bonus" interviews are interesting as band members recount their life on the road. This is essential Texas country music.

This is probably the worst DVD I ever bought! Nelson doesn't sing the songs, he just talks them and seems to have no energy at all!

Willie just doesn't want to hit the high notes any more so sings in a flat style - disappointing. It's been the same now for several of his live efforts - I should've learnt a long time ago.

I love Willie Nelson, but this was a terribly disappointing live performance. Nelson and his band sleepwalk through their greatest hits, looking bored and uninterested. Nelson doesn't even sing some of the songs, he just speaks the lyrics. It's as if he's sung these songs a thousand times and can't bear to do it again.

But the lack of energy is just one of the reasons to be disappointed. Some of the instruments and some of the singing are out of tune. The sound quality of the recording is not that good either.

I'd walk ten miles in a snowstorm to see Willie play live. But if you're looking for a Willie Nelson DVD or CD, there are much better choices available.
