Which is sort of similar to what he did on his last album, Country Music, which was one of my favorite albums of 2010. That album was produced by T-Bone Burnett, and featured lots of timeless songs. This one was produced by James Stroud, It doesn't have the sense of occasion that a T-Bone production, but I think it's a cool album. You really can't go wrong with Willie singing songs like "Remember Me," "Why Baby Why," "I'm Movin' On," "Sunday Morning Comin' Down," "Satisfied Mind" and even "Roly Poly." The album won't change the world or expose Willie to any new fans, but I like it.
I know that there's a Volume 2 coming out later this year, and I've also heard that he's writing new songs for a new album (his last few albums haven't featured his own compositions). That's what I'm looking forward to: new songs by Willie Nelson. For now, I'm enjoying this one, if not as much as some of his other great albums like Country Music and Willie & The Wheel.
