Stardust

This is a big fat no no for me. Soulful songs brought in the most soulless way. It does not help that this is the kind of music my dad put on when I was younger. I hated it back then and still hate it now. Did not even finish the album

1.5 Good voice just incredibly boring

Gear: Hifiman Arya Artwork: 🌟💫⭐ Mix: Danke für keinen einzigen besonderen Moment! Gänsehautgarantie! Musik: ironischerweise einen Tag nach Johnny Cash's "American IV: The Man Comes Around" mit seinen sagenhaften Interpretationen serviert bekommen. Um es frei nach Jules Winnfield zu sagen: "(...) [Cash's "American IV"] ain't the same fucking ballpark. It ain't the same league. It ain't even the same fucking sport. Look, [Willie Nelson's "Stardust"] don't mean shit." Wertung: 🌟(🌟)/5

Dull. Couldn't wait for it to be over.

What's the point of this? Instantly forgettable covers.

Slow, boring Folk.

Slow and lumbering cover album, not sure what this is doing on here

Outlaw country genre... appearing pretty mainstream.

Soooo seicht. Brauchte da wer Geld? Puh.

Already know I don’t like his voice. Did not listen.

So cheesy - Saturday night karaoke!

Beyond disapointing.

Underwhelming

Not a fan of Willie, DNF

Tried giving this a go but I just can't manage what to my ears are sentimental country versions of well trodden standards. Sorry Willie.

The only thing that saved this album from not even being listened to, was the fact that this was a bunch of covers. I literally have no idea how Willie Nelson sold a single album. Every single cover he did on this album was worse than the original, and not by a little bit. The only good thing about Willie Nelson is that he uses his bafflingly unlikely fame as a tool for cannabis legalization.

Suitable for a rainy day (check) when I'm wanting to be in my depressive feelings (nope)

Nope.

Saaaai

This is fine, but I think if I wanted to listen to Willie Nelson, I'd rather listen to some of his outlaw country music, not him singing covers.

How many more flavours of country hell can there be on this list?

What is this and why is it here? Willie Nelson sings soppy covers? Really? Why do I need to listen to this?

I don’t like this style of music.

Basically sounds like a covers album sang by that guy Steve down the pub who does a bit of karaoke on pay day

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Felt like a run of the mill Willie album. 2/5 Update: this is a covers album? That knocks it down to a 1/5

Cover album or piano ballads, not my jam

Nelson has an amazing voice, but I hate this. Covering some of his childhood favorites, but in this restrained, I guess you could say classic way. The passion that makes so many of these songs great is gone. No crescendo. Flat.

Nah

Oh my god, what a horrible, horrible collection of cover versions! No wonder the record company weren't happy with it. Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. I was expecting so much better than this unlistenable pap.

country

not my taste, saved the first song tho, 2/10

Boring. I was expecting C&W and didn't even get that.

Nope, couldn't do it. I tried.

I don't get why this is on this list. Maybe I just don't get Willie Nelson but this really wasn't very good. One star

Meh…. Does nothing for me soz

I have never listened to Willie Nelson before... and this was definitely not the way to start. Learning that this album was his 22nd and he went against his label to make an all oldie covers album was interesting, but he adds nothing and the result is boring and sleepy. His voice is nice, but everything is too monotone and the songs just run together. Zzzzz 1.5/5

Boring trad-pop covers

Not really a fan. The unchained melody cover was particularly trite. Uphill battle to like country music anyway. But yeah, just not the one

Nope, I really didn't like it. Every song here has been done with more taste before.

Wow 36 minutes of Willie Nelson trying to be a crooner and failing badly. What on earth is this doing in the 1001 list?

p419. 1978. 1 star. Lazy, bland, middle of the road album of covers by a distinctly below average singer. This is background music for department stores. WTF is this doing on the list?

I don’t like country but when Willie does it it’s bearable because he has such an iconic voice. But when he does covers of shmaltzy pop songs it becomes unbearable. This sounds like a lazy money grab to me.

I know something about Willie Nelson by his name, and he is somehow crucial for American music history, but this was such a dull experience that I don't care too much about his importance. I wouldn't say I like it, but apparently, Nelson recorded almost 80 albums. So maybe I'll try some of them in the future.

There isn’t a single track on this album which either improves the original, or failing that, at least showcases it in a different & interesting way. Some are saccharine karaoke poor & his rendition of ‘On the Sunny Side of the Street’ is nothing short of an abomination. Considering the amalgamation of time, effort & talent that went into it’s making, this must be one of the most pointless albums ever released.

Approached this with an open mind. But tbh it was pretty poor. Covers without real reinvention is not what this list is about.

Nope, not good

Willie is a classic and an American legend. But do I need to listen to him do a bunch of covers? I would die without needing to listen to this album.

A bit dull

Nah.

Why not name this Classic Covers? I get so confused by who is the writer or presenter. This album was a great way to open eyes 👀 to country singing. But not a big Willie fan Lots more “twanging” talent out there, then & now. Willie is definitely talented in replicating music but in the years after this he shows a lot more talent and teaches the world what Country music is. Did like the rendition of Unchained Melody!

Reminds me of music you would hear in a particularly bland starbucks at christmas.

Sorry, I don't like this music.

No country pls.

Too slow, not the biggest country fan

Vercshrikkelijke bingo muziek

Masturbatory schlock. This album takes lovely jazz standards and turns them into uninspired warbly lounge music.

What a boring album. If you had asked me about Willie Nelson, all I knew would have been about his persona as a chilled, weed-smoking grandpa. So I was hoping for maybe some interesting psychedelic country, but this is just smaltzy overproduced cover version. This kind if shit is why people say they hate country

Yeah no thanks

Slappe zooi... Op naar de volgende!

auch nicht.

not my style

Wow, that was slow. May cause fatigue!

Not a big country fan. Please, next.

country crooner sings sinatra style songs

I feel like I'm in Benidorm.

Not my bag. This is basically easy-listening for old stoners. Musically, it is one step above the music-man playing covers on an all-in-one Yamaha keyboard in your local mall. Production is high (pun intended), with backing strings and horns and the annoying harmonica guy leaning against the back wall. There are many covers on the album, the title track is a cover.. lame.

Album didn't interest me, didn't listen to most of it.

This was shit.

I’m never a big fan of Willie’s vocals but the arrangements were fun and different.
