Willie is a real hometown hero in Hill County, Texas where he and his sister were raised in the small town of Abbott by his grandparents after their parents left them. He truly is a 'Living Legend' of country music.(Jasmine notes) Record Man' is a musical testament to genius in the making.Īt the age of 86, Willie is still making new music and still touring, his marathon shows usually featuring many of the tracks contained in this essential CD. This compilation shows that Willie Nelson was never short of talent, even though many years would pass before that talent was fully appreciated outside of his peer group.
There are also a handful of duets with Shirley Collie, who became Willie's wife not long after they were recorded including Willie's first country chart hit 'Willingly'. Among the highlights here are Willie's versions of many of the best known country classics of the early 1960s, including 'Crazy' (a hit for Patsy Cline), 'Hello Walls' (Faron Young), 'Night Life' (Ray Price) and 'Funny How Time Slips Away' (Billy Walker/Jimmy Elledge). Record Man' contains the A and B sides of Willie's first 10 singles, presented chronologically, plus all the album-only tracks from his first long player 'And Then I Wrote'. By the mid-1970s he had become the biggest male vocalist in country. However once better known singers started recording his songs on a regular basis, demand for his own recordings increased substantially. However he had actually been recording since 1957, with no more than local success at best. Willie initially came to fame in the early 1960s as a songwriter rather than as a singer.
