Description:

This box contains a wealth of American music, plus a couple of jewels--Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" and Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come"--from beyond these shores. Here are 100 songs commemorating Willie Nelson's incredible journey by going full circle. "When I've Sang My Last Hillbilly Song," leading off Disc One, was recorded in 1954 or '55; it is 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.

5Great Willie Nelson complilation  Oct 09, 2008
I really like this new compilation of Willie Nelson songs because it includes every (or certainly most) of my favorite Willie songs. It also includes several of his famous duets. I have the CD and also have it on my computer and on my iPod. It includes 4 CDs.

5Too short to overview his 5 decades.  Aug 04, 2008
I love his warm and shivering voice and I find it happy and amazing that his Family still play with him. There will be compilations of his 80 years anniversary, however, his speed of releasing albums is too fast and it will get to be more and more difficult to compile his tunes into anyone's favorites. He will never have any trip to Japan because of the strict examination for entry. I wish I would see his concert.

5wonderful!  Jun 27, 2008
What can you say about Willie. This is a worthwhile set for any Willie fan.
