Love Old Time Gospel Music
Iloved this CD - Willie's unique voice singing out those timeless old hymns - what a combination!.


Good simple gospel music, horrible cd release.
They are both filled with great gospel songs. I prefer this record to The Troublemaker. This record is much more intimate instead of a sounding like a jam session. So I'd give the music 4 stars.

As a CD reissue, I give this 0 stars. It's really pitiful. This CD is a reissue of the Family Bible LP from 1980. They changed the order which I don't mind, but they dropped "An Evening Prayer" which is unfortunate. They changed the cover from a charming studio photo of Bobby and Willie to a New England postcard. They spent no time remastering the sound. I transferred my vinyl and I did a better job that the record label, and they had theoretically had access to the masters.


Very peaceful
" The song, Family Bible, was a minor country hit in 1980 and is one of my favorite songs on this CD. Originally released in 1980 under the title "Family Bible. If you are looking for a follow-up to Willie's outstanding "The Troublemaker" album you might be disappointed in this album. While it is a very good CD, the performances are stripped down and lack the backing vocals and instrumental support found on "The Troublemaker. " What you get on this CD is just Willie, his guitar, and a piano accompaniment. No drums, no bass guitar, no slide, no organ, etc. . . That does not make this a bad album, but it lacks the punch that "Troublemaker" has. The result here are solid performances and a much more peaceful feel. I recommend this CD if you like traditional gospel music or if you like Willie Nelson. But if you are looking for a "Troublemaker II" you might be disappointed.


One of the best!
I truly enjoy each song on this CD! A work of art.


Gospel Favorites~Willie Nelson
I only wished I could locate a similar recording titled something like "The TroubleMaker, A Tribute to Carlene" or it could have been reversed- "A Tribute to Carlene-The TroubleMaker" It had old- time Gospel music. Inspirational, uplifting, positive. I had purchased it in the mid to late 70s as an 8-Track and 33 1/3. . . boy am I showing my age!!! I had seen it a couple of years ago @ Best Buy on cassette, but was sooo into CDs. . . I thought I'd wait. What a fool I was. Anybody out there got a copy or know where I can get one?.
