This is an appropriate collection, since Nelson has recorded more duets with more fellow performers than any other country singer in history. This runs the gamut, from traditional country singers Merle Haggard and George Jones, to soulman Ray Charles, to Latin-lover Julio Iglesias, and the rock band Santana. It even has a duet with the late Hank Williams, arranged through modern studio recording technology. ~ Tom Roland
HALF NELSON is a compilation of duets Willie Nelson recorded during the early 1980's. The majority of tracks are drawn from previously released albums and singles. The result is a mixed bag that includes something for practically everyone, from fans of older country (Merle Haggard, Mel Tillis, George Jones, and a studio-created duet with Hank Williams Sr.) to rock and rollers (Neil Young, Leon Russell, Carlos Santana). Nelson is a sensitive duet partner, and when the material is first-rate he rises to the challenge well.
Occasionally, Nelson shines on what is arguably inferior material, such as the treacly mega-hit "To All the Girls I've Loved Before," performed with Julio Iglesias. High points include the Nelson-Merle Haggard version of "Pancho and Lefty," one of the great singles of its era, and the Western swing tune "Texas on a Saturday Night," performed with Mel Tillis. Nelson is well-paired with fellow hippie iconoclast Neil Young on "Are There Any More Real Cowboys?," drawn from Young's OLD WAYS album. HALF NELSON also includes three previously unreleased tracks, including Hank Sr.'s "I Told A Lie to My Heart," a demo tape onto which Willie overdubbed a harmony vocal and guitar solo.

CD REVIEW By I. Listen Closely --------CD-------- DESTINATION UNKNOWN by Rudy Grant Here you go,Rudy Grant Fans! Finally!! A CD from one of Denver, Colorado`s ICONS of country music. I think that Rudy`s been around here almost as long as Lee Sims or Leo Everett. I really haven`t kept track of the years, (I stopped counting a long time ago) Now this album is "Western" to me. It has a predominant steel guitar played by Clip Cookson, who also co-produced this CD. By the way, the other producer is a well-known country music artist, Karen Osburn. She got her licks in-playing bass guitar, drums and back-up vocals. Susie Lewis (another nationally known artist) laid down some outstanding fiddle parts on this album. I remember back in the `60`s, when I used to go with my Dad on the road to repair electronic organs. We werein Valetine, Nebraska when the van decided to quit on us and we had to stay in the downtown hotel while we waited for the parts to be delivered to the repair shop. I can picture that country hotel in my mind ...

\"Stunningly crafted songs\"- Billboard songwritingA BIOGRAPHY IN INDIANA\'s WORDS:I was born in the rural Midwestern town of Terre Haute, famous simply for being the \'cross-roads of America\', where highways 40 and 41 intersect running from east and west, north and south across the United States. My mother taught dance and art and my father worked in the aluminum industry. We were avid \'church goers\' and the gospel influences are probably apparent in some of my music today.When I started primary school I had a very strong speech impediment. I was speaking out of the side of my mouth, like Looney Tune’s ‘Sylvester the Cat’, and had a stammer that made communicating in class more or less impossible. This, combined with the fact I had to wear corrective shoes and leg braces, made me similar to a female version of the young ‘Forest Gump’.After being introduced to a speech therapist I spent a couple of hours a week learning to speak through various methods of communication, including singing. My speech teacher asked me to go home and write poems that I would then have to sing. This was the birthing place of songwriting for me.During this period in my life my grandfather had a stroke and my father had a car accident. My mother had a lot on her plate keeping an eye on my three brothers, my grandfather and my dad. I therefore ...
