Hi Folks,

I see PGMusic took no notice of my request to end this discussion - probably a good thing as there have been some witty and amusing posts since.

Now that we are well and truly off the point and discussing the merits or otherwise of Willie Nelson's voice. It takes me back to 1978 and the only album I have ever bought of Willie's music - "Stardust".
I only bought the album because it featured IMHO two of the greatest ever songs (regardless of genre) "Stardust" and "Georgia On My Mind".

Boy - Willie really nailed those two songs. They both have some really challenging notes and phrasing for any singer.

Sure he was helped by some magical backing and super production by Booker T Jones plus a really gutsy decision to stick Willie's vocals way out front in the mixes.

But it really worked!

Best Regards
Nigel
