WILLIE NELSON - ONE HELL OF A RIDE (4CD BOX SET)


Willie Nelson One Hell Of A Ride On 4 x CD Box Set

The Greatest Willie Nelson Retrospective Ever Assembled!

This incredible career spanning 4 Disc Box Set contains a wealth of American music, plus a couple of jewels such as Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" and Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come" from beyond these shores. Included are 100 songs commemorating Willie Nelson's incredible musical journey.  It has some of the most hard to find songs that Willie recorded when he first moved to Nashville, all the way up to some of his most recent and there is definitely something here for everyone. "When I've Sang My Last Hillbilly Song," leading off Disc One, was recorded in 1954-55 and it's reprised on Disc Four's final track, updated in 2007. Between those years Nelson, a Depression era kid who grew up dirt poor in Abbott, Texas, became one of the world's most recognizable figures, in the music/entertainment business or otherwise. One Hell Of A Ride is, quite simply, the most all-encompassing Nelson retrospective ever assembled!

In addition to all of its glorious music, this package also features incisive words in an essay by Nelson's biographer, Joe Nick Patoski, whose Willie Nelson: An Epic Life was published in 2008. There's also a brief reminiscence by Mickey Raphael, Nelson's longtime harmonica player, that is funny and affecting.

Finally, there is the man himself, who on April 30, 2008 turned 75. The songs herein, many of them touchstones, some lesser known gems, reflect the musical sense and sensibility of an artist for all ages, and for the ages.
