I don't call him country but the so-called experts call him country so here he goes....
Willie's eighteenth studio album....
and the first of his to make any impression on the international charts...
I like this album, would have been better had it not contained four pointless,stupid instrumentals which let the album down IMO....
other than that its typical Willie....
a bit bluesy, a bit jazzy, a bit country but ALL Willie...
a couple of covers(I don't know why he needed to record covers back in the day as it seems he was writing hits for just about every major artist
from Texas to Tennessee), a couple of traditional tracks also reworked to make them his own, and eight or nine originals...
you either like Willie or you don't, if you don't, then you probably haven't been bothered reading this or clicking on the link, if you do then,
you'll click on the link and enjoy my favourite track....
