Disco de Willie Nelson: “16 Biggest Hits”

Descripción (en inglés) :

Also available in a 3-pack with JOHNNY CASH: 16 BIGGEST HITS and GEORGE JONES: 16 BIGGEST HITS. Producers: Willie Nelson, Booker T. Jones, Sydney Pollack, Chips Moman, Fred Foster. Recorded between 1975 and 1989. Includes liner notes by Arthur Levy. All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. This is part of Legacy's 16 BIGGEST HITS series. Willie Nelson spent 19 years at Columbia Records. It was during these years that Nelson reached the peak of his career, consistently topping the country charts and occasionally ascending the pop charts as well ("Always On My Mind," for one, was a #1 hit on both the country and pop charts). 16 BIGGEST HITS collects, for the first time, all of Nelson's best-known recordings from this period on a single disc. From his first #1 record, 1975's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," to his last, 1989's "Nothing I Can Do About It Now," Willie Nelson dominated this era of country music. 16 BIGGEST HITS demonstrates why. It's hard to imagine a country fan who doesn't know at least a few of these recordings by heart. The most successful of them--Nelson's composition "On The Road Again" and his covers of "Georgia On My Mind" and "Always On My Mind"--have reached that pantheon of "songs you've heard so many times you could never forget them, even if you wanted to." A great introduction to one of country's great artists, as are the other records in Columbia's 16 BIGGEST HITS series, which include anthologies of George Jones, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, and Tammy Wynette.

If I were to recommend one Willie Nelson CD to have in my car it would be this one. Not one boring song on the whole CD. Willie is a unique singer who seems to have a talent for attracting listeners from all walks of life, ethnic, racial, etc leanings. Classy guy in my book and dang fun to boot.

I always have dug Willie Nelson.His Take of "Georgia on My Mind" is Great."Always on My Mind" is Great Here.His&Elvis's Version are my favorites of that song.I Also dig "On The Road Again".I Wish Willie's Version of "StarDust" was here?but Nevertheless a Strong Set.

Not too bad of a collection. Most of his big hits are here, as the title implies. I just was hoping for some of his Waylon duets, but I guess I could probably get them on one of his other 40 collections of songs. Regardless, his catalog is excellent, and seeing as how I'm not the biggest Nelson fan, just a casual fan, this cd was pretty decent. If you aren't a hard-core fan, this cd might do it for you. With the deletion of a couple songs and the addition of a couple more, this cd would have been much better.
