Review - Amazon.com

Perhaps his superb three-CD box Revolutions of Time is a bit out of your price range. Maybe his 16 Biggest Hits collection feels a bit slight. This two-CD set works as a fair compromise between the two, although it lacks any discographical information or liner notes. Still, the music here is mostly breathtaking and is varied and balanced enough to provide a clear sense of Nelson's numerous strengths: a deft songwriting flair, a respect for country's traditions, a distinctive nasal twang, and a wonderful touch and feel on his gut-string guitar. --Marc Greilsamer

- If you buy one Willie Nelson cd, this should be it.

There are a lot of Willie Nelson compilations out there, but this one is hard to beat. It is a rich, pithy collection of his absolute best material. Although I personally own 15 of Willie's cds, this is the one I bring with me on the road. Everyone should have this album in his/her collection.

- Great songs by an all-time classic performer!

If you appreciate the classics, this is for you. He plays a mean wicked guitar.

Anyone who has recommendations of albums that are strictly instrumental- Willie, please forward.So appreciate his band. Thanks!

- The Very Best of Willie won't let you down!!

My favorite song is, "There's nothing I can do about it now." But this CD is packed with Willie's finest.
