Surprisingly enjoyable for a genre I don't really care about. Good interpretation, the laid-back songs are not boring, and there are some slightly more upbeat songs that are quite nice.
Somehow Willie Nelson has managed to fit a whole Western tale of love, betrayal and revenge into 15 songs and 34 minutes without ever feeling rushed or constrained. This is evocative music, recalling dusty mesas and smoky saloons, a million miles away from the shmaltzy strings and glittering rhinestones of Nashville. Western music for outlaws!
