a lot of Willie Nelson...

I dont' think anyone has released as many quality albums in the past 20 or so years.....I mean we could be talking 25 to 35 albums at least

I picked up the collaboration with Wynton Marsalis and its a keeper...a stunning keeper....then I was looking in my basement and found something called "Me and the Drummer" on some obscure label and its also great.... The man simply doesn't know how to make a bad album

People always, including myself, always talk bout Dylan and Cash's revival in the 1990s but Nelson's track record I think is far stronger... he consistently averages 1-2 albums a year and collaborates with just about anyone often with really good results.. There's the album produced by Ryan Adams and with Adams and his band.. there's the reggae record which is a lot of fun... just doesn't seem to matter what he does ..its all worthwhile.... the album featuring all songs associated with Cindy Walker is also great...

Hey Hutch, I'd like to get a solid Willie album, can you give a recommendation? I have 'Red-Headed Stranger' but it's so minimalist and mellow that it does nothing for me. Does he have any more uptempo albums?

well that is an intersting question...yes he does.... i also get a bit bored with the red-headed stranger as beloved as it is by the critics

I would have to recommend Shotgun Willie

barring that, and if you're not opposed to live albums, I recommend Willie and the Family Live (its a double cd)

for a newer release I was very impressed with the You Don't Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker (2006 release)

An album like Stardust is a bit slow and jazzy.. I wouldn't recommend it in your case although its epic stuff....

the thing about Willie is that he's such a great singer (his phrasing can at times be Billie Holiday-like...behind the beat... just the right emphasis on each word), great songwriter and guitarist....

I'm thinking I have to see him again and its been less than a year...

for Hexenjagd...

w/extended versions and unreleased songs
cannot deny the purity of vocal tone, breathe control and overall musicality of the singers 
the instrumental arrangements are complex and performed with amazing technique and precision.

We listen to alot of Willie Nelson and I would recommend Shotgun Willie as well.  I love Stardust too. 

And I'm partial to the live version of Whiskey River.

I want to go to the June show, we'll see if it's a nice night.
