At 90, Willie Nelsoncontinues to record and tour – it might be a while before his ashes are being rolled between the Rizlas. His 2023 album finds him focusing on the songs of Nashville’s premier songwriter, the late Harlan Howard; this, its title track, is perfect Nelson: wry, reflective and beautifully sung.
Originally recorded by the Mills Brothers and best known in the UK as Morecambe and Wise’s theme song, Bring Me Sunshine gave Nelson the last hit of his Nashville era. When he returned to the charts in the mid-1970s, the thriving counterculture of Austin, Texas, had transformed Nelson’s look and sound.
A decade after Elvis scored with this bathetic ballad, Nelson took uber-producer Chips Moman’s advice and recorded it. Nelson’s weathered baritone conveys a relatable heartache and he scored the biggest country hit single and album (of the same name) of 1982 while scooping several Grammy and CountryMusic Association awards.
Recovering from collapsed lungs, Nelson wrote the songs for Tougher Than Leather, his first album of original material in eight years. His band (which featured his older sister Bobbie Nelson on piano until her death in 2022) provide beautiful accompaniment on a song that captures Willie’s Texas Zen spirit.
Honeysuckle Rose gave Nelson his first starring role in a feature film (playing a struggling country singer having an affair), but it’s this song that he wrote for the soundtrack – which encapsulates his desire to live life on a tour bus – that fans remember.
Nelson’s album produced by Don Was found him surrounded by famous fans; inevitably with such a project, it’s uneven. Yet Nelson sang the title track, a haunting lament – written by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Jim Dickinson for Freddy Fender – about migrants crossing from Mexico to Texas, with such grace that it’s now a modern standard.
Countryman, Nelson’s long-gestating reggae-country album (Chris Blackwell initially paired him with Sly & Robbie, to no avail), was generally regarded as a failure. Yet Nelson works wonders here, transforming Jimmy Cliff’s Jamaican outlaw anthem into a stark, sharp outlaw country song powered by snapping guitar and fierce, foreboding percussion.
If the 1980s found Nelson dominating the charts (don’t mention thatJulio Iglesias duet), the 1990s were more musically adventurous. Spirit is a striking album featuring this fine track on ageing and mortality. His exquisite acoustic picking (on his battered Trigger guitar) reinforces just how gifted Nelson is as a musician.
Nelson had long been in awe of Ray Charleswhen the producer Billy Sherrill paired them to sing this dramatic, mariachi-flavoured gunfighter ballad. Both men rose to the occasion and delivered exceptional vocal performances. A huge hit in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, this is a stunning recording.
Tony Joe White, Leon Russell and Jamey Johnson join Nelson – who left Nashville for Austin in 1972 – on this atmospheric slice of southern rock. Nelson’s interpretations of Russell’s A Song for You and Gregg Allman’s Midnight Rider demonstrate the shared country and blues roots he and the rockers share.
