Thread Name: Willie Nelson at 70
Subject: RE: Willie Nelson at 70
Kat, I got the "Crazy, The Demo Sessions" for my birthday (well, I might have dropped some serious hints). It's really interesting hearing these songs before they became hits for others, knowing that Willie was struggling at the time, but you sure could hear what would make Willie famous coming through loud & clear.

Some of the tracks turned up on Teatro, the Daniel Lanois produced CD from a few years ago. Neat hearing the originals.

Rick, I know that you know a lot more Nerd facts than I do, but my ear doesn't lie to me and I've been a Willie fan since I first heard "Stardust". I was about nineteen at the time and into Hendrix, Winter, Dylan etc. But there was just something about Stardust that made sit up and take notice. And I've said it here before if you haven't seen a live Willie performance, you haven't heard Willie.
