Between 1985 and 1995, The Highwaymen recorded three major label albums: two on Columbia Records and one for Liberty. Their Columbia works produced three chart singles, including their number one, signature tune, the Jimmy Webb composition ‘Highwayman’, in 1985. During this time, the members of the group - Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings - provided the voice and dramatisation for the Louis L'Amour Collection, a four-CD box set of seven of the author’s stories, published by the HighBridge Company, although the four were not credited as "The Highwaymen" in this work. Besides the four formal members of the group, one other vocal artist appeared on a Highwaymen recording: Johnny Rodriguez, who provided Spanish vocal on ‘Deportee’, a Woody Guthrie composition, from the album Highwayman. The four starred in one movie together: the 1986 film Stagecoach.

Willie Nelson Few songwriters and performers have played a vital role in post-rock & roll country music as Willie Nelson. Although he didn't become a star until the mid-'70s, he spent the 1960s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price ("Night Life"), Patsy Cline ("Crazy"), Faron Young ("Hello Walls"), and Billy Walker ("Funny How Time Slips Away"), as well as releasing a series of records on Liberty and RCA that earned him a small but devoted cult following. During the early '70s, Nelson abandoned Nashville for his native Texas, setting up shop with the redneck hippies in Austin and taking control of his music on the landmark Shotgun Willie (1973) and Phases & Stages (1974). He found a kindred spirit in Waylon Jennings and, together, they spearheaded the outlaw country movement that finally made him a star by 1975. Following the crossover success of that year's Red Headed Stranger and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," Willie became a genuine success, as recognizable in pop circles as he was to country audiences; in addition to recording, he also launched an acting career in the early '80s. Even when he was a star, he never played it safe musically.

Country Music sees the legendary Willie Nelson interpret traditional country standards for an album The Washington Post hails “a calm, contemplative, and remarkably consistent album.” The 2010 GRAMMY®-nominated album features renditions of 14 country classics such as “Dark as a Dungeon,” "Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down," and “Satisfied Mind,” along with a version of his 1959 single, “Man with the Blues.”

'It's been rough and rocky travelin''…and the journey starts here. No one in American music history has been more prolific than Willie Nelson, but these incredibly rare recordings come from the time when he had to beg people to record him. It's a story of small labels, local hits, and beer hall nights that took him from central Texas to Washington state, back to Texas, and on to Nashville in 1960. "Nashville was where the store was," he wrote later. "If I had anything to sell, it must be taken to the store."

It really will be the Ultimate Christmas with these 76 Festive tracks across 4CDs housed in a fold out card digipack style case. Includes Wham! Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan, Tony Bennett, Eartha Kitt, Michael Bolton, Johnny Cash, Simon & Garfunkel, Julie Andrews, Andy Williams, Mahalia Jackson, John Denver, Willie Nelson, Duke Ellington & His Orchestra, Susan Boyle, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Dido and many more!

Collectables Records' various-artists compilation The Ultimate Christmas Album has been released both on its own and as a tie-in with a series of radio stations. There are identical editions of the album associated with KLUV, K-Earth 101 FM, and WCBS FM-101.1 in addition to this version, WJMK 104.3 Chicago. The word "ultimate" has been overused and misused in record releases to the point that it doesn't mean very much to see it on the cover of an album. Whether or not one considers this album to justify its title will have a lot to do with individual musical taste. If the potential consumer is a listener to one of the radio stations listed above, which are oldies stations devoted to playing pop/rock music of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, he or she may agree that the album is the ultimate in holiday music of that period.

The 151st Willie album: Bluegrass. The brand new studio album finds Willie re-visiting a dozen of the biggest hits and his finest songwriting from across his career in bluegrass style with some of the finest Nashville musicians. This is Willie’s first bluegrass album and features favourites like “A Good Hearted Woman,” “On The Road Again,” “Still is Still Moving” and “Bloody Mary Morning”.

In the dense annual blizzard of holiday albums, A VERY SPECIAL ACOUSTIC CHRISTMAS shines like a gleaming treetop star from a warm, inviting living room, thanks to its organic, no-frills approach and its remarkable lineup of performers. Dan Tyminski (of O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? fame) offers up a charming version of "Frosty the Snowman," while Willie Nelson lends his legendary voice and guitar playing to a fine take on "Please Come Home for Christmas." Alison Krauss contributes her surprisingly poppy "Only You Can Bring Me Cheer (Gentleman's Lady)," Marty Stuart confides that "Even Santa Claus Gets the Blues," and Pat Green saunters through a relaxed "Winter Wonderland." Bringing the Yuletide album to an appropriate close is Norah Jones, in a beautiful solo rendition of Horace Silver's "Peace".

It features Willie's new interpretations of classic songs written by Merle Haggard, the latest in Nelson’s storied history of focusing entire albums on a single songwriter’s or artist’s work. Nelson and Haggard were longtime friends and collaborators who released three collaborative albums together: 1983’s Pancho and Lefty, 2007’s Last of The Breed (alongside Ray Price) and 2015’s Django and Jimmie.

Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Willie Nelson's breakthrough solo album! Hybrid Stereo SACD Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Before Shotgun Willie, Willie Nelson had struggled to gain widespread recognition as a solo artist, despite having written many successful songs for other artists. Nelson's big break came when he signed with Atlantic Records in 1973. The pivotal moment in his career came after Atlantic Records executive Jerry Wexler, known for his work with artists like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, took an interest in Nelson's music. Wexler saw potential in Nelson's unique approach to country music and signed him to the label. With the creative freedom offered by Atlantic Records, Nelson was able to record Shotgun Willie with the artistic freedom he had long desired. The album's unconventional sound and honest lyrics resonated with both critics and fans. Shotgun Willie marked a new beginning for Willie Nelson's career, and it set the stage for his subsequent albums and his emergence as one of the most influential and iconic figures in the history of country music. The recording was one of the first albums of outlaw country - a new subgenre of country music and an alternative to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound, the dominant style in the genre at the time The album - the first to feature Nelson with long hair and a beard on the cover - gained him the interest of younger audiences. It peaked at No. 41 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and the songs 'Shotgun Willie' and 'Stay All Night (Stay A Little Longer)' peaked at Nos. 60 and 22 on Hot Country Songs respectively.
