Stardust

Willie Nelson is a blind spot for me outside of his big hits like To All the Girls I've Loved Before and Always on My Mind and, erm, bong hits I guess. I am so glad this is my first Willie album. It's completely beautiful. When the 2nd track Georgia on My Mind came up I did a double take. This is a Willie Nelson song? That prompted me to read the album notes on YouTube Music which revealed this is a covers album of standards. I'd never have expected to find a covers album on here but I can see why this one stands out. Willie has such an effortless and intoxicating way of singing I was transported by his entire vibe. He is a treasure and I'm grateful that I finally got to learn this otherwise well known fact.

Mysigt

Gotta be honest, not a ton of context around Willie's music heading into this. I know he's an icon, know what he sounds like, but could not tell you a time I've ever listened to one of his songs. This album rules. I know it's mostly (if not entirely) covers but he just puts his own imprint on all of these tunes and puts out such an uplifting and easy listen. This one caught me by surprise and was quite nice.

4.4 To be consistent, I have to deduct half a point for not writing any of the songs (Dusty Springfield rule).  With that being said what an absolute jem and no record collection would be complete without this album.  Wille takes these songs and makes them his own.  I thought the instrumentals were pretty much perfectly arranged; must have had some real pros working on this, in addition to Booker T.  And I was hanging on every note of Willies guitar playing. 

What a lovely album cover. I wonder if the country music will match its loveliness. It does. Tenfold. What a stupidly lovely album. I mean, you’d expect something at least halfway heartfelt with Willie Nelson, but this is just something else entirely. It’s like the smoothness of Sinatra and the country sophistication of Cash have blended in a happy union, with the strings pulled by Nelson’s vocals and his musical ensemble. Willie is still with us and is still churning out music at 92, but even after he’s gone this collection of standards shall eternally shine. All because of, that word again, its loveliness.

I dig this… countryfied top songs…

Goddamn young boy at the height of his powers here. Masterful guitar playing and singing. And I think booker T produced? Memphis shit.

The vibes are impeccable. A perfect album for driving down a country lane to have a picnic, or sitting on the porch as the sun is setting with an ice cold beer in hand.

Easy listening in the not pejorative sense. Great songs and a lovely voice with arrangements that let you enjoy the songs and the vocals.

Willie Nelson's voice makes any song sound like it was etched in stone.

What beautiful album. He's a gracious, honest, and thoughtful lyricist, and his arrangements are simple but lovely.

Note to self: don’t listen to Willie Nelson sing romantic covers while you’re snuggled up in bed lest you feel lonely and sad 👍 I was a bit skeptical of this one, because Willie doesn’t have the best voice in my opinion. I was worried he might ruin some of these songs that I really really love in their original form. But he didn’t. I liked this album a lot. He put his own charming spin on it and that really worked for me. Favorite songs were Stardust, All of Me, Unchained Melody, and September.

We should buy this album. Very chill and soulful.

Very sweet❤️ quality lyrics

Beautiful and relaxing, perfect!

Great rendition of American standards. Especially the first two tracks are great examples of the more relaxing, melancholic country out there. In the end it's a collection of known songs and therefore not really that standing out stuff you'd want from that list.

Really good album. Lovely piano and vocals. Can't say I've listen to Willie Nelson much before but I will probably check more of his stuff out

enjoyed willies take on some classics. wish it wouldve had some originals on it

I’ve listened to a few Willie Nelson songs randomly here and there but never a full album. It’s a pretty laid back slower paced album that I need to be in the right mood to enjoy but plenty good when I am in that mood

Country version of Frank Sinatra? Oo

Lovely album cover, surprisingly enjoyable content as well.

I definitely don’t really like country. I grew up hearing a lot of it and I don’t like most of it. But this album is not just country, it’s also alittle bluesy. Plus it has really really great production and the songs that don’t sound like country song so really loved. As always I struggle with slower songs, so there were plenty of songs I didn’t get a lot out of. But the songs I did like I’d say are some of my favorite country songs. Everytime I go to a yard sale or any kind of used record stores, I’m gunna be looking for this album.

Aww, this is a really sweet little album. It’s only flaw and it’s not much of one is I’ve heard better covers of some of the songs. But that’s unfair

Olipahan hieno tunnelma ja miellyttävää kuunneltavaa. Mutta kun ei laula omia lauluja ei voi antaa kun 4

Great folk album!

Great album

A relaxing album with my Willie out. My Willie might not be the most impressive but he does know how to put on a show. 7/10

This an old fave, though one's always thought Willie sounded less than fully comfortable with the format and the arrangements, as if his deep respect for the material led him to be somewhat stiff in his approach. Yes, editors, he is a bit of a jazz singer, and it's cool how he countriies these tunes despite the broad, sweeping and normie orchestrations. There are better Willie records (Teatro should be on the list, say), though the quality and originality abound here, too. The strong commercial reception is well deserved (and no doubt helped with his parlous tax situation), though slightly more variance in tones/tempos as the record progressed mighta made it even better. Bottom line: these are timeless songs intriguingly interpreted by a truly original artist and a delight to hear overall, far transcending the bad vibes stemming from the fact that this was a favorite of one's ex-wife.

What a pleasant and relaxing album. I thought I was getting ripped off with a bunch of covers at first, but it's very enjoyable.

Great album. Willie picked some great songs to cover and showed off his voice.

Really good covers

really enjoyed this one. yes, it's covers but the choices let Willie's voice & arrangement shine even more. and this brings some great memories of listening to my Dad sing some of these.

Leuke verrassing! De jazzcovers werken heel goed. De popcovers iets minder.

It was nice

A few years ago I went to the "Country Music Hall of Fame" in Nashville and walked through over a century of country/folk/blues history. Since then I have said on more than one occasion that I love country up to Willie Nelson. I'm sure that there's some stuff after him that I'd like, but in general that captures my feelings on country. I've never listened to this album, so I'm excited to get into it. "Stardust" is a very appropriately named song. It does feel like I'm floating with Willie through space. "All of Me" has some sweet guitar. "September Song" also has sweet guitar. Willie is really plucking on the heart strings in this record. "On the Sunny Side of the Street" is so nice. Willie wrote a lot of other people's most famous songs. I only recently listened to Patsy Cline for the first time and had a real "Hurt" Johnny Cash/NIN moment with "Crazy". I loved this album. Lots of really great songs. I love what Willie's cooking. 8/10

Classic Willie Nelson, pairs well with whiskey... Or tea

Fue un buen album. Realmente se lucio con los covers, me gustó mucho los arreglos y la voz.

It's hard not to be uncharged by this album in large part because of Willie's image as a performer a musician in the outlaw country world as well as the way that he is aged in the public eye and remained a darling for hippies in traditionalists alike. I'm probably also a little biased towards Willie Nelson because of my father, so there's that. 4/5

Very relaxing

Willieee

Great album

Everyone know who Willie Nelson is, he is a classic American figure. But I have to admit, I never actively listened to Willie. I have heard several songs in my over 4 decades of life, and could pick out his distinct voice on any song. For what could be considered my maiden voyage into Willie, I really enjoyed this slow and mildly bluesy version where he covers some of the most popular songs of all time. I know he is more of an outlaw country singer/performer but this was a quaint and enjoyable album that I am glad I heard. I have been saying for years I was going to dive into Willie's catalog, maybe this will jump start my adventure. 8.1/10 117/1001

Mysigt och chill.

Loved this, such a lovely vibe. Really chill and relaxing

Another mainstay in my parents catalog of CD’s. Never really gave it too many listens as a kid because I thought it was too slow. But it is a very beautiful album. Willie really gets to show off his vocal range amidst covers and originals.

One of America's great storytellers covering some classic po and jazz standards. A great collaboration with Booker T.

Delightful album that was sang from the bottom of his heart. You can feel the emotion

8.5/10

While interesting that a cover album would be the first album revealed, it proved to be an album you cant help but like. Classic and timeless songs sung so dreamy it’s as if you were transported to another decade. The melodies are calming but also make you want to move with the song. And yes, he didn’t write these songs but it still feels like a story, choosing his favorite songs from his childhood. I enjoyed this album more than I expected.

Not the country album I was expecting at all. Beautiful easy-listening album.

I actually really liked this? Great atmospheres, gorgeous voice, nice!

a lovely little country album with a little jazzy, Sinatra, Christmas standard warmth to it. :-)

Normally I don't care for standards, and I've always thought Willie was a bit overrated as an album artist, so it's a pleasant surprise to have really enjoyed this!

Very cozy

The man has 70+ solo studio albums over his lengthy career, but only about 3 or 4 of them are absolute classic Willie. This is one of them.

A perfectly nice set of standards done in Willie style.

This the only Willie Nelson Album I own which is strange because it is far away from the outlaw cowboy music he is known for. His voice is not powerful but it's expressive, agile and even "weary" quality perfectly matches the standards he chose to cover here. Brave choice that shows his confidence as an artist.

A really good vibe, very laid back and pretty. A nice Americana jazz ish album with old songs reimagined. Will return to this for sure and loooking forward to more Willie Nelson in the list

Slow but good! Can tell it influenced a lot of music beyond just country. Lyrics especially.

Though this album did not blow me away, it was a great listening experience. Just a tiny bit drunk after a family reunion turned into an evening of drinking, this album grounded me again on the way back. I can definitely see myself returning tot his again.

It's warm and wholesome. Not all of the covers landed for me but the ones that did felt great. I'll come back to this one.

Very different than most of Willie's music, but really good, and very unique performances of some American classics.

i didn’t know willie had this side to him!! super good

Lovely 4/5

This is a very good album by Willie Nelson! It's one of his more popular albums lots of good covers and kind of ethereal feel to it!

This is a remarkably rich collection of jazz and country standards, entirely different from an Ella Fitzgerald cover album, which emphasizes her genius and improvisatory skill, closer in kind to Rod Stewart's The Great American Songbook volumes, tho a thousand times better. In reality, this is a mere cover album, but it possesses something grand, something transcendent, not just a sum greater than its parts, but parts that are greater than their parts, etc. It could be that, w/o Willie's songwriting on display, you're reminded just how quietly superb a singer he is. It could also be that well-arranged covers are souvenirs of an artist's love for music and its history. Whatever it is, Stardust is a touching, often jaunty record, & one for keeps.

There's not much to say-Willie is the GOAT. Not an album of originals but just a lot of extremely well done covers of pop standards. I personally prefer his other older stuff that's a little more country-themed specifically but it's good.

Willie Nelson singing the Great American Songbook? No thanks. Or so I thought. This album is a surprise. Willie Nelson is in great voice here. He's not trying to be a crooner. He's not trying to sing bigger than he is able. The arrangements are great and allow him to give understated, yet effective, performances. 4 stars

What a wonderful record. You can really hear how much Willie loves these songs that he grew up with. The arrangements are full without being too dense and the album flows beautifully from song to song. Standouts for me are "Georgia On My Mind", "Blue Skies", "On the Sunny Side of the Street", and "Someone to Watch Over Me".

I remember listening to this when it was first released and gaining a new appreciation and admiration for Willie’s talent. He’s not just a great Country star, but a genuinely stellar musician. Five stars!

Really good - sounds great and WN’s voice amazing

3.5

This was a very relaxing album to listen to, gives a christmas vibe off of it. I realized that this was a cover album and it was really well done. A lot of the songs had his personal twist to them which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Pretty good. They feel like movie credit songs, and I gotta respect that.

Excellent.

Don’t know if I’m just in a certain mood, but this was just wonderful to listen to. Sparse at times, but calming and comforting. 4.5

I’ve only ever known one man smoke Willie under the table. Mr Len Houmous! 4.1 7/10 on the sunny side of the street

nice relaxing study music!

estaba guapo ritno lento pero triston

First time listening to a full Willie Nelson record. Although it was tempting to dismiss it as another dose of Americana, the quality of his voice, and the musicianship was hard to dislike. His voice has a remarkable way of breaking during a phrase which renders the lyrics tender and authentic, even during a song that has been recorded many times.

Tender

A beautiful album of covers that I didn’t realize he had made, but truly enjoyable in that signature Willie Nelson voice.

Wow, I really liked this! I've been a Willie fan in name but haven't ever gone back and truly listened to his albums as a whole. Consider me hooked on this folky 70s style serenade.

I mean, I knew who Willie Nelson was, knew his big hits, and love country/folk/American music. But this? It hit me how much I dismissed Willie Nelson. These covers are unique but immediately recognizable. I think this has convinced me that he's a great musician. I'll listen to this again and again.

Great, it’s a classic I hadn’t yet heard.

Very relaxing

Me ha sorprendido a bien. Y me encanta que haya hecho lo que quisiera adaptar canciones que a él le gustaban y punto, así sí. Además bien adaptadas a su estilo country. Para estudiar, dormir o contemplar el día 10/10.

Really chill and lovely album. It really matches the energy of a person who is deeply in love, in a safe, healing and quiet relationship

Who wouldn't love the legendary outlaw country singer Willie Nelson? I used to think of Willie Nelson as the guy who sang about whiskey, heartbreak, and maybe outrunning the law a little. Willie covering old-school pop standards like “Georgia on My Mind” and “Blue Skies” sounds like it shouldn’t work — but it does. The older I get the more I really appreciate Willie.

Cup of coffee, windows down, long day on my way home - I didn't want this album to end. Very slow, but it hit me at the right time. Calming and soothing, Willie nailed these covers. Big fan.

Awesome, smooth, easy to listen to. some great songs

Knew so many song on here!

This album was so good. I had no idea it was a cover album of pop tunes. Willie's voice is sooooo smooth. It is so good. The guitars, harmonicas, pianos are all so peaceful and calming. This was such a great listen. "On the Sunny Side of the Street" is sooo catchy. Loved it! Hannah loved "Someone to Watch Over Me" Liked Songs: "Georgia On My Mind" , "Blue Skies" , "All of Me" , "Unchained Melody" , "On the Sunny Side of the Street" , "Moonlight in Vermont" , "Someone to Watch Over Me"

Me gusto , es un buen álbum a diferencia de mis quejas anteriores con algunos que no se deciden a establecer con sinceridad que son , este álbum en vivo es 100% honesto música country simple y directa, si bien no soy un habitual del genero y mucho menos un conocedor , creo que es un buen disco y lo disfrute , incluso lo escuche una segunda vez con mi suegro el cual si es un conocedor del estilo . Recomendable.

a bunch of covers of old classic pop songs, so while I know that it isn't going to be bad or anything, I also don't have anything to say about the lyrical content or melody or anything since he's not the one who wrote it. generally not much to say except that it's gorgeous and soothing, even if a little boring. willie nelson is a cool dude. favorite song: "unchained melody" overall: 7/10

Willie has a great voice. Add on the fact that he's singing covers of some of the greatest songs ever written and you've got a terrific album. It's just soothing to listen to. Worth at least a listen.

If this is a country album, I'd love to listen to more country. Honestly, I felt like this album was more of a soul or gospel record. This record is relaxing and dreamy. I loved how Nelson expresses his feelings throughout this record. His dream-like vocals make me feel like everything is going to be all right. I also find the faint use of the organ throughout many of the tracks on this record. Favourite Track(s): Georgia On My Mind, Unchained Melody, September Song, Moonlight in Vermont Least Favourite Track(s): On The Sunny Side of the Street

He’s a very good songwriter and while he doesn’t have the most amazing voice he still sings these songs the best

A lot of fun covers with a surprising amount of Jazz Standards from Ole Willie

I need someone to watch over me 🙏

Some timeless jazz and pop standards sung by the great Willie Nelson. What’s not to love?

I LOVE Willie Nelson, so this album is right in my sweet spot. Is it his best album? No, but it's a top 3 choice. The late 70s production comes through here, but his voice and guitar playing are crisp and dead on. No missed notes, no hair out of place. It's impossible not to love these songs, and the arrangements here are ideally suited to Willie's voice and style.

Beautiful.

Beautiful and a very easy listen. Nothing wasted. No bloat. Not a single thoughtless chord progression It feels like one of those albums that you listened to and think “oh how did I miss that”. Upon checking the wiki, turns out they’re all American pop standards, and Willie was branching out of his usual country style with the help of Booker T. While some of these, like Unchained Melody were obviously covers (to lack the proper term), the fact these are standards explains why it feels so familiar, easy, and homely.

This one is very pleasant, all the arrangements are minimalistic but Nelson's voice is great and they're all classic pop songs. Favorites are Blue Skies and Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Honestly this was pretty lovely. I wasn't expecting to be that impressed with Willie's version of I Can See Clearly Now, but he really made it his own.

There’s my Willie. Great album, shocked I’ve never listened to it though. So emotive with limited instruments. Soulful, great songwriting, like a warm hug. 8/10

Sweet

#1 harmonica player NA

está bn soft

album muy chill buenas vibes

Great album. I’d listened to certain songs but not the whole thing. Wonderful mix of musical styles and a chill vibe the whole way through. Loved it.

On pense rarement à Willie Nelson pour sa voix, mais plutôt pour ses compositions. Mais ici il se révèle un interprète sensible et nuancé. Un bonheur à écouter.

I don't say this often, but this album wasn't long enough.

Really lovely and varied. Surprisingly short, which in a way is cool. Super enjoyable

actually really liked this album. was not expecting such a nice country album.

how can you go wrong with Willie? I had no idea this was all standards. Reading about it was interesting. Good old songs. Willie’s guitar is unmistakable, as is the harmonica player.

Only half serious when I say it, but definitely not NOT serious - this is back when there was *real* country. Not this "beer in my truck" crap. The lyrics are good and the instrumentation is actually interesting and varied.

Had more fun with this one than his previous album (which was still solid). Love his voice. A lot of these songs were a little slower, sad and sweet. Stardust starts us off, nice and chill. Continues along with the sweet Georgia On My Mind. Blue Skies is a lot of fun. Then it kicks up a notch with All Of Me. And then an amazing rendition of Unchained Melody. Don't Get Around Much Anymore is cute. The rest of the songs are sweet and chill for the most part. Not a bad song on it, it's a really nice listen. Best song: All Of Me

This album had me floating man. Willie Nelson perfectly blends his usual country and bluegrass sound with the dreamy changes of these classic jazz standards, with beautiful arrangements by Booker T. and absolutely pristine production throughout. Top 5 (no order): All of Me, On the Sunny Side of the Street, Don't Get Around Much Anymore, Stardust, Georgia On My Mind Honourable mention: Blue Skies I did, at first, think sometimes the harmonica felt a little out of place, but it grew on me more and more. I think it gives some songs an extra mid-century feel to them. I can't believe I'd never heard of this album before, it's easily the best works I've heard from Willie Nelson (and that is a high bar). 0 skips, and definitely an album that will have me coming back for a long time 8/10, but that could probably go up over time as I relisten to the album.

Þetta var mjög hugljúf plata. Ég skil vel af hverju Willie Nelson er svo vinsæll. Góður flutningur og góð lög. Ég mun alveg pottþétt setja þessa á við fyrsta tækifæri þegar ég þarf dempaðri og rólegri tónlist.

I flirted with giving this 5 stars. It is beautiful and gentle and Nelson’s voice is so lovely. And of course all the songs on here are romantic classics. I only dropped a point because there’s no edge whatsoever, so it gets a little goopy by the end. But otherwise it’s a very classic sounding and simple-folk-arranged collection of cover tunes. It’s a must-listen (#134).

Blue Skies, Unchained Melody

Such a calming album

Willie Nelson is probably best known for his authentic style of outlaw country music, so it was something of a surprise when he teamed up with Booker T Jones to record an album of great American songbook classics from Hoagy Carmichael to Irving Berlin to George Gershwin. The result is really rather affecting, with Nelson’s slightly quavery voice adding emotion to well worn songs with music from Jones on organ and piano complementing him perfectly. Just goes to show that you should never pigeonhole people into single genres.

I liked the willie nelson stardust album much more than i thought I would tbh it's just him diving headfirst into a collection of American pop standards. It sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it really does. His gentle, weathered voice brings a new kind of honesty to songs like Georgia on My Mind and Blue Skies, making them feel lived-in rather than polished. Just some really nice takes on some classic songs and I've always loved the sound of trigger his guitar it really does have a very unique sound which i like The arrangements are soft and understated, letting Willie’s phrasing and guitar do the talking. It’s a warm, mellow listen that somehow manages to feel entirely his own. Stardust proves that great songs, and a great interpreter, can put something into these classic songs and make them sound 'new'.

So mellow man

Willie is sooo not my thang BUT this was such a pleasant surprise. I probably won't listen again but now I get his fandom.

That's not my taste in music, but pleasant music

One of my favourite cover albums. Willie Nelson nails the laid back, acoustic, twangy sound that fits so well in the slow, contemplative jazz standards he covers. Not a bad song on this, and perfect for any quiet time spent alone. Best Tracks: - Stardust - Georgia On My Mind - Unchained Melody Worst Tracks: N/A Rating: 8.5/10

Beautiful croons <3

Just a solid album from a good artist. Not much more to say about it.

A nice surprise

Pretty solid listen Reminds me of all the songs they used to play before/after punk shows. Willie is an original punk!

It's a 4 but only because it's Willie

Had no idea all these classics were on one album. Hate the production on it, but the material is so good it doesn't matter.

Not a ton of "new" music on this, but some really great renditions of some old favorites. Probably my 2nd favorite recording of Georgia On My Mind, and a quality recording of Blue Skies. Honestly though, I think the less-lauded 2nd half of the album is more my speed. You get to really hear Willie be Willie, both good and bad.

I wouldn't think that I would love that album but damn that was really good those acoustic parts are amazing I loved it really like the solo in "Blue Skies" was awesome and I loved every songs in general except "September Song" but "Georgia On My Mind" was really beautiful and probably my favorite one.

The cover art is amazing. Very good song covers too. This is the country music gateway drug for me Edit Apr 27 2026: 5 --> 4

I love this man and his beautiful voice

I don’t think I’ve ever really listened to a Willie album before, but I was surprised by how much I liked his voice.

Ultimate chill. Makes the days worries slip away and reminds you that, in the end, everything will be all right

Extremely chill, good for a rainy day

Soooo calm.

Not exactly my cup of tea, but very good! I liked it

This was one of the records my mom bought after the divorce, along with a lot of Neil Diamond, so it is woven into my upbringing. It's a beauty of a standards collection. I was going to list the Willie albums I prefer, ones that lean on his original material, but then "Blue Skies" came on, and I thought why would I want anything else? It stops just outside the city limits of treacle, elevating the tiredest of songs with a weary, elegant resignation. It's making something out new of what's left. If you can't open your heart to his version of "All of Me" you may want to have a doctor confirm you have one. This version of "Unchained Melody" is what plays should our wretched souls ascend to heaven at the end. So yeah, essential. Produced by his neighbor Booker T (of and the MGs), recorded in another friend's house, with the harmonica recorded in a shower stall. Also I love that he insisted on keeping Susanna Clark's (wife of songwriter Guy Clark) signature on the cover painting.

I'm a little torn by the inclusion of this, an album of well-known standards, from the artist who wrote songs as good as "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground," "Whiskey River" and "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys." It was even controversial in its day, coming from the figurehead of Outlaw Country. And yet, I cannot deny this is very good — especially "September Song."

Never even knew this album existed but how special it is.

If you have a Willie Nelson album in your collection, it probably should be this one.

Never listened to Willy before but he blew my tiny mind

Not my go to genre of music, but relaxing and soothing none the less. Guitar sounded warm and I found myself mesmerized by his voice. Felt like i was near a campfire or on a porch on a summer night and my grandpa is singing to me

Love Booker T, but it didn’t do it for me

Very lovely listen, throughly enjoyed.

bluegrass covers of classics by a pro, no complaints

OK, this album is actually really chill in a great way. Go Willie go

I do wish more artists did this. I understand that a label might blowup its hq before it lets any artist that isn't someone at Willie's success level try to release a record of just covers, but a boy can dream. Maybe if there was a publication that paid for the recording an EP of artists covering songs they love. The triple J "Like a Versions" are nice, but I want it in an album format, not a playlist of youtube videos or a 14 hour playlist. Do it like a KidzBop album. It really feels like Willie's love letter to other songwriters. He's in dialogue with other great artists. Jackie Chan boxset you know what Im sayin. While paying ode, Willie reworks some classic pop cuts to create an intimate atmosphere. This record spills over with love as a fan, and from one fan to another, thank you Willie. 7.8/10 Favorite Song: Moonlight in Vermont

Willie's voice on these jazz standards is perfect, although his own songs usually are better.

Nice chill vocal, chill vibe, 6.9/10

This was actually pretty enjoyable. Not a fan of country at all. But this definitely had less of that country-y sound than most. I didn't mind it.

4/5

It was a slow and quiet album, which isn't a bad thing. I think it would be nice to listen to this while trying to go to bed or something.

Nap time music

Really nice. will listen more

Easy and relaxing. Willie is a national Album 5/1001

Stardust showcases Willie's talent as a versatile and expressive vocalist, in spite of limited vocal range. The strongest tracks on this album are "All of Me", "Blue Skies", "On the Sunny Side of the Street", "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" - the more uptempo tracks in general.

If that's what country sounds like, then call me a fan. Really nice cover album by Willie Nelson, great choice of songs, beautiful voice, solid effort.

A very pleasant surprise. I have no knowledge of Willie Nelson’s music - but definitely had preconceptions! A quiet, thought-provoking album. Very clean sounds and not overly orchestrated. An album for peaceful, reflective times.

Willie Nelson c'est un vieux hippie. Il a la même coupe de cheveux qu'une indienne dans Asterix et Obelix. Si c'étais pas assez, il écrit même pas ses chansons ici. Il reprend des fait chansons aussi poussièreuses que lui. C'est lent, dull, plate, je me suis endormi cinq fois. Très bon, 4 étoiles sur 5

Charmé par la voix de la Sirène Country américaine! Je connaissais les grandes chansons de Willie, mais aucun album. Donc, une belle découverte que ce Stardust. Parmi les plus belles voix qui se font, et ça a toujours l'air naturel et facile en plus. J'y reviendrai, c'est certain.

Good

Completely out of character for Willie Nelson, Stardust is an album of pop standards but served with his signature authentic sense of storytelling. His rendition of 'Blue Skies' is phenomenal.

Stardust is a great example of Willie Nelson doing what he does best—making any song his own. It’s pretty cool to hear his laid-back, soulful take on classic pop standards like “Georgia on My Mind” and “Blue Skies.” His phrasing and delivery are so relaxed it feels like he’s singing just for you on a porch somewhere with a glass of something strong in hand. The arrangements are stripped down, but that’s part of the charm—nothing gets in the way of Willie’s voice or the emotion behind each lyric. It’s not your typical country record, but it works surprisingly well. You can tell this was a passion project, and it’s one of those albums that grows on you the more you listen. A solid, timeless listen front to back.

Cover songs done by Willie with a Willie spin. Mello gold right there.

actually good for a country music

80% Best: Stardust; Georgia On My Mind; September Song; Don’t Get Around Much Anymore Must-Hear? Sure

Willie Nelson is covering his faves. Pop rather than country, lovely, cosy voice. Super charming.

Beautiful and inspired. Willie Nelson really knows how to create a cohesive sound without immense production. 4/5 only because these are covers.

If I were to rate this exclusively based on how much I enjoy the music, I'd probably give it a 3. It's pleasant. It doesn't exactly transfix me, but it's just nice to listen to. But there are two things that bump it up to a 4. First off, it really is better than the sum of its parts. Altogether, it's just such a comfy album. Like a warm hug. I'm not familiar with most of these songs, but I don't even need to be told that they're standards. They have this kind of nostalgia to them. Secondly, in reading about this album, it took some gall on Willie's part to go through with this product. He was already the king of outlaw country by this point, and he pointedly went against his label - ONCE AGAIN - to record an album of pop standards. Willie just doing figure eights around these suits. Gotta respect it. Fav tracks: Stardust, Georgia on my Mind, Unchained Melody, September Song

I want to like this album more because it's beautifully recorded, exquisitely performed and a wonderful batch of songs. At times the way the nylon string guitar sounds makes my hairs stand on end. But I'm the end it's a bit too reverent, too lush and too safe. I still really dig his version of "Blue Skies". I can't fully give it 4 stars... But close enough to warrent it on the app 7.9 ★★★½

Willie’s voice is so pleasing, I can listen to him sing anything. That twang puts a sweet spin on this collection of standards. He really slows the tempo, savoring the lyrics so that the songs really feel lived-in.

One of the better “sounding” Nelson records that I’ve listened to, Stardust is a solid collection of pop standards covered Willie style. It makes for an enjoyable listen. Willie is a good enough songwriter that it’s hard for me to not wish I was listening to songs he wrote, but hearing Willie make these songs his own is well worth the journey.

Great!

Willie does great, but this album didn't really resonate with me. Good overall, but just didn't really connect.

Beautiful.

Listening to this album has taught me one thing: I have underrated Willie Nelson. Growing up in the '90s, Willie has always just been "that stoner country singer." In fact, the only album I've listened to his before this one was the reggae album he released in the mid-2000s. That wasn't a bad album by the way, but it didn't really change my perception of Willie. In all honesty, this shouldn't have changed my opinion of him either. It's an album of covers which isn't my favorite way to judge an artist, but when I think about the crooners like Sinatra and Crosby I guess it makes sense that some of the all-time greats do just do standards. All things considered I still didn't know what to expect from this album but I was pleasantly surprised. I found myself listening and thinking, "Is this actually good?" It's not like Willy's voice is anything spectacular. It's smooth, it's subtle, but it works. And, it especially works on an album like this, where he can really put his own style into these classics. I didn't love every song, and I'm not here to say that this is a 10 out of 10 masterpiece or anything like that. But, it did make me realize that I've probably been sleeping on Willie Nelson. I honestly didn't even know that he was this major star in the 70s, and I certainly didn't know that this album of covers was as big of a hit as it was. Overall, a solid listen that probably earns a few extra marks from me from just exceeding expectations, but his arrangements of these standards truly are quite enjoyable.

I'm hooked. Honestly it had me at "Stardust... by Willie Nelson... Its ten songs consist entirely of pop standards that Nelson picked from among his favorites" Saving it to my favorites

Enjoyed this one more than I expected, having only known Willie Nelson for his political songs and the "Roll me up and smoke me" one. Had no idea he is actually a serious musician too, and a good one at that! Will definitely be coming back to this.

I think I would have hated a cover album of pop songs if it were put out by most artists. However, Willie Nelson is not most artists, and his fucking voice makes this shit work so well that I never question it while listening. Just exquisite 4/5

For most of my life, I dug Willie Nelson as a person more than a dug his music. And maybe I’m just getting old, but this album soothes my cynical soul. Beautiful.

Strong title track, moonlight in Vermont is beautiful. Good easy listening. Proper chill out album.

I love Willie! * Nelson I mean ** Willie Nelson

God I love me some good solid Willie. It was a lil short, but size doesn't matter, it's the motion of the ocean

Such a beautiful melancholic album to ride to work to on a breezy morning, a blue colour pallet morning with a blue colour pallet album cover GIVE ME YOUR WILLIE WILLIE

Living legend, but a little sleepy. Not into it.

i know u guys are gonna jump me, but i think this is a very strong 4, i’m just not feeling a five here. i love it a lot, but i don’t know. that’s me man

The man The myth The Willie

Normally not really a fan of cover albums (or country) but this is very gorgeous

Willie Nelson is a legend and this album was fantastic! I definitely need more Willie Nelson in my life.

literal suena un poco como escuchar clásicos mirando las estrellas, muy lindo ❤

Didn't realize how great his cover songs are

another country album to get me to change my opinion on country music. Very cozy, can’t complain.

I really enjoyed what Willie did here. While many of the songs were slower, they all this romantic flare to them that really just made want to slow dance with the one you love in the kitchen at 2 in the morning. Covering so many classics with his iconic voice also made this is an enjoyable listen. Probably won’t listen straight through again, but I was smiling through the entire thing.

Me gustó, todo parece el soundtrack perfecto para un domingo o un día lluvioso, buen sonido, concreto, no va a ser mí favorito pero me sorprendí disfrutándolo

Nice mellow willie

I was surprised how much I liked this record. I am hungover and maybe that played a role in my feelings. This was very chill and I even listened to it a second time. Lots of cover songs - great stuff.

Gorgeous album of "classic pop" songs like the elementary school favorite "Blue Skies". A mix of classic pop, jazz, soul and country. A bit front-heavy, as the schtick wears its course. Still 4/5

I don’t know if all the songs are covers but a lot are. And they’re lovely. 4/5

It was good but i don't think it's as influential on me as the other albums provided

Canciones antiguas pero cantadas como baladas, interesante.

Gute Songs dabei. Stardust, all of me .. unchained melody. Gutes country, folk album.

Willie had a joint, a guitar and a dream. I’m glad he achieved them because our ears are better off for them. I usually hate cover albums but this one grabbed me from the jump and simply refused to let me go.

wasn’t a big fan of country music before this. favorite track: stardust other picks: georgia on my mind, all of me, moonlight in vermont

The most I’ve been able to enjoy a country album

Extrem entspanntes Album - sicher super zum Abschalten Sehr melancholisch - Old school Country

reincarnated into a silly goofy dog under the starry sky in the countryside

I like his cover of unchained melody, v tender.

Enjoyable listen with fun songs and interesting covers. The record feels fresh and Willie does a great job at catching the emotions in the songs, like unchained melody, be it in a country style, which was great. The record does lack in originality, as the record is only made of covers. Nonetheless the new style make up for it and overall the album is just fun and relaxing to listen to. Favorite song: September song. Overall score: 7.2/10.

This is like I'm hanging out by the campfire with some old cowboys just jamming to some tunes. Legitimately surprised by how much I am enjoying this.

What a lovely album! There's a reason these songs are considered standards and Willie does a great job interpreting them. Favorites: Stardust, Don't Get Around Much Anymore Would I listen to it again: Yes

What a pleasant and optimistic lil album

This was really good. Not really a big Willie Nelson guy typically (but maybe I should be?). Just very pleasant, mellow jams. On the other hand, this album doesn't have a ton of tonal contrast, but it was pleasant as I did my work. Highlights: Blue Skies Georgia on my Mind--Is this an original take? I don't think so, but its a great standard performed well Don't Get around much anymore and someone to watch over me is a very strong finish for the album

lindíssimo som de violão e um maravilhoso opener, seguido de algumas faixas que já não sobressaíram tanto assim pra mim mas é relaxante e bonito o suficiente pra eu sei lá se pá colocar quando não tiver ideia do que ouvir

There's a time and a place for this album and the covers are respectful

Lyssnade på denna på ett tåg där jag satt och tittade ut på en solnedgång över ett vinterlandskap, så det var onekligen helt perfekta förutsättningar för en bra upplevelse. Gillar Willie generellt också, så det blir en stabil fyra.

Maybe the first full country album I've listened to. Honestly, a good introduction to the genre proper. (also, OK, the album's sound really was exactly like the title, OK, nice)

Interesting sound, but personally not a big fan of folk-type. Apparently not original songs either so eh.

07/01/24 I have never listened to Willie Nelson and it was a chilled album, erring on the side of boring.

Great album cover, nice calm stuff here. Pleasantly surprised

i didnt know these songs were covers because i've never heard the originals but they're definitely willie's songs to me now

old folksy country sound, liked this well enough

Wonderful.

I, at first was like "Nah, I don't want to listen to a Willie Nelson album... come on!" Then I did. What? This album is not some down on the luck hard drinkin' gamblin man album... it is .. I don't even think it is really country per se... more bluesy or contemporary... with a somewhat country vibe... but still. Damn. This album is... To be honest? Great! It blew me away. It took like no time to for it to suddenly be over and I could have been fine listening longer. He does a bunch of covers and they are superb. This was honestly a shocker for me. I had like zero expectations and got a deep, emotional crooner just letting it go. Wow!

Made me cry multiple times. Four stars.

How relaxing is this album. Not too long either, a nice in and out experience. I can really see myself listening again to fit a calm mood.

The fact that Willie Nelson made such a lovely album should be all the argument you need that weed should be universally legal.

Calm, quiet and relaxing but surprisingly not in a stoner kind of way.

Willie Nelson and Booker T. Jones here pair up for what is literally a heist or a hold up : recording classic jazz and broadway standards for an album that would help Nelson cross over from his outlaw country audience to more general ones. It worked fine for him in the charts, and decades later, the LP is still pleasant to listen to -- very dignified, and yet also unobtrusive and unpretentious, even if not particularly challenging. The instrumentation is top-notch of course, Nelson hits all the right buttons as a vocal performer, and the familiarity one can have with those songs can help you appreciate the whole thing for what it is. To this day, I'm still wondering if this album is not a little too "safe", though. But if you picture yourself listening to these songs under a starry vault, as suggested by the record's artwork, maybe you'll fall under its many charms... 3.5/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums 8.5/10 for more general purposes (5 + 3.5) Number of albums left to review: around a hundred, as I've gone over the 1000 line and this generator is including albums from all editions of the book Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 443 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 266 (including this one) Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 322

Willie!! I didn't realize!! Incidentally, harmonica solos are my weakness 😍

Festivus came early this year as this is a traditional album (along with Billy Joel) to be played that day. This I know of course from watching the entire series of Seinfeld on DVD with the added "notes about nothing" extra info. And the Festivus Wikipedia page or something. Anyway I like it

I’ve always loved this album. One of the original vinyls that I got from my grandfather that got me into collecting. I didn’t really know anything about this album when I got it. I had just picked it out cuz of Willie but then I happened to watch this Netflix documentary thing and they were discussing this album a lot. Apparently this was peak Willie Nelson in his outlaw country phase and the studio kept pushing him to do more of the same and he was like, nah, ima do my own thing, and made this album of old standards, which by this point, was pretty worn out and people weren’t really doing anymore. What came out of it is a really no nonsense, zero frills album that on the surface you could argue that this is a pretty boring, nothing spectacular kind of thing. What I’ve come to realize though is that is kind of the point. It gives enough spin on the original song to make it uniquely Willy but still honors those classic compositions by just letting the songwriting speak for itself and prove why these songs are considered standards.

Matt 1.0 first introduced this album to me. It was on in the background while we were having a conversation. The conversation was constantly interrupted as I stopped part way into a song to ask "wait, is this?..." and Matt would respond with a "Yep!". This is a perfect way to do an album of cover songs. Willie really makes each of these his own. It's not perfect, but you can't help to love recognizing a song 40 seconds in. Right before the first chorus is about to start. A great album, and I'm glad I know about it.

This was the relaxing comedown that I needed after particularly uneasy start to the morning. Willie Nelson's voice is like no other. It's almost spoken word, yet still so soulful.

4/5 This was my first time listening to Willie Nelson, and the album had a warm, mellow vibe that perfectly matched the December mood. The length felt just right, and it was a soothing, enjoyable listen overall. The subtle jazz influence was a standout for me, especially as someone who loves jazz. That said, a bit more variation in tone or tempo could have elevated it to perfection while maintaining its cozy atmosphere.

Fun cover songs by willie

I really liked this album. It was relaxing. There are some memorable songs, but it generally just passed by like a calm wave for me. I will definitely go back to this album.

Willie does pop standards? Sure why not. Pretty good too. Flawless choice of songs. Arrangements that perfectly compliment Willie's voice. A very satisfying album that is hard to criticize. 4 stars

simply, incredibly lovely. i played this album a second time immediately after the first. it lured my cat to seek out the source of the sound and make herself comfortable in my lap, ears facing my laptop speakers. i've never seen my cat react to music like this. a miracle 4.5/5

The harmonica on these tracks sounds amazing and epically beautiful. Willie’s voice in this context really sparkles. Just beautiful, fun and playful arrangements. Really enjoyed the experience.

Very nice

Warm and cozy cover album from one of the greatest country songwriters of the 20th century. Took Willie 25+ years to be able to play the music he wanted to. And he did a great job doing so.

найс, подойдет для чилла или на фон под романтический ужин

back on form after the zutons yesterday best song: georgia on my mind worst song: n/a

Good folk/popular, great attitude

Okay. We all know I have a Willie bias, but, c’mon, this album is great! Willie got a bum rap for his singing, but he acquits himself nicely and throws in some solid guitar playing to accompany. He really can do most anything he wants musically. Just because it’s not all original material…

Bought this on vinyl a few years ago and it’s grown on my every year since. Was the first Willie album I heard and I could see why he’s so popular. His interpretation of these standards are subtle and warm. Perfect vinyl to put on on a Saturday afternoon.

Well jump a shark long in the tooth. By golly, I will use you! This will be my scene music for stereotypical middle class American old folks, in white picket fence romance, apple pie !

A True Music Legend singing legendary songs written by others from his past that influenced his songs. Fantastic.

I'm quite surprised I enjoy this one. Most of the time with these calmer albums I find they need something a little bit more to add to them to make them more enjoyable, but this one was different. Whether it was his voice or the mood I was in I'm not sure, but this is one I will definitely be revisiting.

Muy buen disco. Es como un country más melódico, alternativo.

Peak Willie.

A fairly good album, I liked the song Someone to Watch Over Me the most.

All covers. Not my favorite Willie Nelson, (and given how much my father hated his voice, I feel guilty saying it) but I think he has a melancholy to his voice that works with some of these oldie but goodies. That said, I prefer him singing his own songs overall.

Really wasn't prepared for this one. Fantastic production, love the vocals, songs are amazing. They are all covers, but Willie's takes are excellent. Favourite tracks: Georgia On My Mind, Blue Skies, Unchained Melody, On the Sunny Side of the Street, Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Willie’s voice is indistinguishable. I love the covers, and the originals are good too.

Willie’s greatest inspiration was Frank Sinatra. Here, he shows that he can wield the power of American pop standards just as powerfully as Frankie ever did. 4.5/5

Such a comforting and relaxing album, very short but full ouf soul and emotions

Nice mellow jams. Would listen again.

I’m at a 4. I really, really liked the first half of this album, and then the second half of the album gave me Ella Fitzgerald-adjacent PTSD of the Great American Songbook. That is to say, I think the first half of this album really clicks on a good middle ground between his contemporaries and the “classics” of his time, and the instrumentation that guides them feels like his own. He takes control of those songs in a way that feels good for 1978, and just as good in 2024. The second half of this album throws out that middle ground to focus entirely on the 30s and 40s, and while there’s not a single bad track on the album, it definitely felt like he was in less control of them, and just covering them mostly as they were, and the album sort of loses his touch. I do think what’s here is good – the Georgia on My Mind cover especially blew me away, and when this album clicks, it really clicks. I just feel like it sort of got… boring near the end. Not like, “dear God, end the album already” boring, but a lot of the back half felt like it touched on topics already explored and covered in the first half, and that redundancy, mixed with the slower tempo of everything started to make me feel drowsy, for some reason. It’s not like I was literally getting bored to sleep or anything, but the instrumentation was so calming and serene, with his vocals so soft-spoken that it simply created the perfect environment to get to that point. When I say it’s “boring”, I simply mean that the energetic songs, or at least the more bombastic instrumentation and tempo go away, and their lack of presence throughout that second half creates a sort of homogeneity that drags the album down to a 4 for me. It is Willie Nelson, though, and who am I to talk shit on his music taste? The band does a great job, his vocals are stellar, and the emotional pull of every song is left intact here; it is a good album, and a recommended one. If nothing else, that Georgia on My Mind cover gets this album to a 3 by itself, but for me, the entire package is worthy of a 4. It could totally go up to a 5 though.

"Stardust", released in 1978, is one of Willie Nelson's most iconic albums, marking a significant transition in his career and solidifying his reputation as a versatile artist. This album is a collection of American music classics, reimagined by Nelson with his unmistakable and emotional interpretation. The production of "Stardust" is notable for its welcoming and cohesive sound. Produced by Fred Foster, the album combines elements of country, pop and jazz, creating an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. The instrumentation includes string arrangements and soft piano, which complement Nelson's distinctive voice, providing an immersive and nostalgic soundscape. "Stardust" remains a landmark in Willie Nelson's career, showcasing his ability to reinterpret classic songs in a unique and personal way. The warm, cohesive production coupled with her emotional delivery makes this album timeless, resonating with new listeners and longtime fans alike. It's a testament to Nelson's talent and a celebration of the songs that shaped American music.

A nice album that is pretty heartfelt. Great music to relax and reflect on.

Not my usual type of music but lovely for a drive plus a great version of Unchained Melody.

Stardust by Willie Nelson is an unexpectedly gentle, almost lullaby-like album that feels like it’s meant to be listened to in a quiet, relaxed setting. Nelson’s voice here is warm and unhurried, paired with subtle, sing-song guitar leads that weave through each track with a comforting rhythm. There’s a sweetness and sincerity in his delivery, making each song feel like it’s crafted for easy listening rather than dramatic impact. The album is gentle enough to slip into the background, yet it’s also engaging if you let yourself sink into its calm, nostalgic flow. I found myself picturing this album as the perfect companion for winding down at the end of the day, letting the warmth of Nelson’s voice and guitar lull me into a peaceful state. However, listening to it on a drive to work made me feel the album’s softness almost too keenly—it lacks the energy I might need to start the day. It’s an album that, while calming, teeters close to “Muzak” in its gentleness. Still, Nelson’s version of Don’t Get Around Much Anymore stood out, with his guitar taking on an almost conversational tone that was easy to sink into. Overall, Stardust is sweet and tender—an album to settle down with, not necessarily to get fired up by. Standout track: Don’t Get Around Much Anymore. Score: 4/5.

I'm torn on this rating. As a collection of songs I thoroughly enjoy them and would listen to this one a lot - 4 stars. Whether or not it should be on this list as a collection of songs not original to Willie Nelson is debatable. If this list is about pure enjoyment and albums you should experience maybe ownership shouldn't matter, especially since the originality is certainly there in this album. Yeah actually I've made up my mind I'm a fan

Willie arranges a near-perfect album that finds common ground between jazz and country. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because there is no original material. It does take away some of the enjoyment of this record.

There's something so wholesome about this being the most popular album by America's most house-hold name stoner. Willie is such a vibe, this made unloading my dishwasher on an October evening very pleasant. September Song and Moonlight in Vermont made me take a break and listen.

Really good.

I've never been a big country fan, especially not modern pop country. It's awful. I do appreciate some of the older stuff and Willie Nelson is in that camp for sure. He has such a great and distinctive voice and guitar sound. So I was actually a little excited that this one came up today. I had heard a couple of the individual songs from this record so I kind of knew what to expect with the full album and I didn't really anticipate getting into it that much. But most of this album I really liked a lot more than I expected. Stardust, Georgia On My Mind, Blue Skies, Midnight In Vermont are all fantastic. Unchained Melody is one of the worst covers I've ever heard. It's sooo bad. It just doesn't work at all the way it was arranged and played. Outside of that though, this is a great record that I would definitely buy and throw on in the evening to relax with a cocktail or neat whisky. 3.75/5

Day 50 - Oct 15th, 2024 Live laugh love Willie Nelson. 4/5

It must be very tempting to give Willie a bit of a bashing but this is a good antidote to the pretentious punk nonsense of the era. Classic songs with a hint of Bing.... might wheel this out for the in laws at Christmas.

the Great American songbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzz zzz zzzzzzzzzz

I enjoyed my time with Willie

These are some lovely ditties. The only way it could be better is if it was covers by (or duets with) Kermit and I was baked. Four stars.

I've never heard this cover album from Willie Nelson, but I gotta say it slaps. Some people will rag on Willie for not being able to sing, but I love his voice. Just something smooth and nostalgic about it. Don't think it's 5-star worthy and I'm not gonna lie, it is probably 3-stars if it's anyone but Willie, but Willie gets the 4-star bump.

A collection of covers. Not my favorite concept coming from Willie in what, some may say, is his prime, but excellently executed. Always glad to see Mr. Nelson on the list. 4/5

Lovely

Everybody likes Willie for a reason. He's a cool guy and a decent singer. Liked this album of standards it was quite entertaining

Beautifully delicate and understated renditions of these classic tunes.

really good

Pretty good.

I'm not American so I don't know much about Willie Nelson or this particular album but, while doing this entire challenge, I have found I have a soft spot for country/Americana. I loved the first track immediately and how perfectly it corresponds with the cover art. From the start, I was transported to a little house on a prairie, sitting on a porch under warm late-summer night with clear skies, family dinner noises coming through dimly lighted windows.. yeah its really great, I'll be looking to find this on vinyl.

This wouldn’t sound off coming from a 60’s crooner - it’s a pleasant album with some nice songs, with Willie’s unmistakable voice. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Willie Nelson es todo un icono de la música country y de la 'Americana'. Pero en este disco dejó a un lazo la zona de seguridad y se atrevió con el pop tradicional, el swing, el jazz, el folk y el blues. Extraordinarias son para mi gusto sus versiones de "Georgia on My Mind", "Unchained Melody" y "Blue Skies", pero todo el disco consigue transmitir un aire fronterizo entre el country y todo lo demás. La paradoja es que, siendo uno de los compositores más prolíficos de la música americana, este disco de versiones sea su gran éxito.

The Good: awesome cover album. The Bad: Willie could have mixed it up a little more. The Ugly: not enough outlaw on this here record. Loved it. Period.

Echt prima album hoor, wel eens een verfrissend ander geluid van Willie Nelson. 4 sterren.

Very calm and relaxing, could listen to while I work. While it’s not something I would usually listen to I can tell it’s actually very good

A wonderful collection of standards covers from Willie. Great for relaxing with a loved one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this album It was a perfectly calm and serene record

Did not know that he made music like this. It was very easy to listen to, no complaints. 4/5

i love country and i love classics what can i say

Not my favorite Willie album by a long shot but still a great representation of the man's talent.
