WILLIE NELSON - SHOTGUN WILLIE (LP)

Willie Nelson Shotgun Willie On Vinyl LP

The legendary career of Texas-born music icon Willie Nelson has spanned six decades and stands as one of contemporary music's greatest legacies. Nelson first rose to fame as a Nashville-based songwriter, penning many now timeless standards including "Crazy," a top hit for Patsy Cline. Feeling constrained by the Nashville music establishment, Willie relocated to Austin in the early ‘70s, where the melding of rock and country audiences made a huge impression on him. He began fusing folk and roots rock with a rebellious "outlaw" country flavor, inventing an authentic, stripped-down sound that remains vastly influential to this day. At this pivotal point in his artistic evolution, Nelson signed to Atlantic Records, delivering two signature albums revered as all-time masterpieces of his extensive repertoire, Shotgun Willie and Phases And Stages.

The David Briggs/Arif Mardin-produced Shotgun Willie, originally released in 1973, is widely considered one of Nelson's finest albums. With stellar support from contemporaries Waylon Jennings and Doug Sahm, the album is highlighted by the signature songs "Whiskey River," "Slow Down Old World," "Sad Songs And Waltzes," and the Leon Russell-penned "A Song For You." Standard weight vinyl in a single pocket LP sleeve.
