Bluegrass (CD)Bluegrass (CD)

Willie Nelson picked personal and fan-favorite compositions from across his career to perform anew for this salute to the Appalachian old-time string band music that profoundly influenced his songwriting sensibilities and the direction of American country music in general. Using his own catalog as source material, Nelson chose songs combining the kind of strong melodies, memorable storylines, and tight ensemble interplay found in traditional bluegrass interpretations of the roots of American folk songs.
