- The remastering stinksI love the content of this CD, but I must say the remastering job is the pits. It starts off okay, but about halfway through it starts to sound muffled. My favorite song, "Loving Her Was Easier", has no high frequency content at all. I've heard this album on LP, and sad to say, the LP sounded better. And be forewarned: "Loving Her Was Easier" also sounds lousy on the 3-disc set "Revolutions of Time." It sounds as if they just lifted it from this CD. Shame on you, Legacy!

- Will Help You Make It Through The NightTo correct another review-- this record was originally released in 1979-- many years before Willie's tax problems with the IRS. I don't understand why so many people want to bad mouth Willie-- who hasn't exactly been commerical-- even when he was popular. He has created his own sound and has spent his long career exploring it. On that note, this album was probably recorded because Nelson and Kristofferson are friends and Willie had already covered quite a few of his tracks. Whatever the reason-- this is a spectacular record. Willie's version of Sunday Morning Coming Down is my favorite-- as is his version of Help Me Make It Through The Night-- which is worth the price of the album. Standouts also include Me and Bobby McGee and Loving Her Was easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again. Willie brings his own flavor to the classic songs. This is his 70s musical style that will be familiar to fans of Honeysuckle Rose and Red Headed Stranger. His regular band backs him up beautifully. There isn't a bad song on here. Too bad about the CD quality! They should reissue this along with another forgotten classic Without A Song!

- Essential CountryA gem of an album - possibly the most bittersweet album in country music. Sunday Morning Coming Down is just one highlight of a recording that is just dead solid all the way through. The last time I saw Willie, at Stubb's here in Austin, he played an amazing four songs from this album - proof enough that he realizes what a great fit his voice is with these lyrics. Get this one - it's a keeper.

- Sounds Like Willie Is Singing Under A PillowI love this album and on vinyl the sound is OK. But the cd sounds like it's made from third generation cassete. What a huge dissapointment. There is no way this disc is made from the original tapes. Don't buy this disc unless a remastered version comes out.
