[CRAZY-HORSE]

WILLIE NELSON "last man standing"

release date:  27th April 2018

chart highs (pun not intended!):  US Country #3, US #14, CAN #52, UK #46

including solo studio albums, collaborations, soundtracks and Yuletide releases
this is Willie's 105th studio set (he's released another since this came out!)…
I love Willie, er, that doesn't sound right......, I love Nelson, got it, good!...
haters gonna hate though....
a country album as opposed to the vast majority of his works being jazz/blues tinged...
lots of songs about mortality on here, and rightfully so as he's no spring chicken, and also
he's outlived almost of his contemporaries and friends...
some songs are serious in nature like the title track, others are a bit light hearted
with lines like "i'd rather have bad breath than no breath at all" and
"Heaven is closed and Hell is over crowded, so I guess i'll just stay where I am"...
all up, a very good album, his best in years IMO
