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.

Features:
  • Hitch a ride through Willie Nelson?s storied career ? from 1954 to 2008! This gorgeous collector?s box set contains all of his best-known recordings. ? M02115

5One Helluva an Artist  Dec 12, 2008
Willie just never lets you down. Whether at a show or on CD the smooth, deliberate detail that is paid to each song makes it his best each time. I've been a fan since way back before the "beard & hair" and this CD-collection is at the top of the list. An excellent gift to myself.

5Best Willie Nelson there is  Nov 19, 2008
Best Willie Nelson there is. Best studio recording quality. A 4 CD box set.

5One hell of a ride  Nov 10, 2008
If you like Willie Nelson, then this is a must collection for you. It is bone chilling music from the git go.

4You can't go wrong with Willie singing to you!   Oct 13, 2008
I love Willie Nelson so you simply cannot go wrong listening to his music. If I could afford to be a groupie and follow his concerts, I would be doing that too!

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.
