Willie fan
A great variety of music. Great, great album. Willie can sing with the best. By far, the best of his Friends compiliations.


All that talent under one roof..........AMAZING!!!
Willie just keeps kicking out those Fantastic concerts. . big names and great tunes. Keith Richards, Kid Rock, Jerry Lee Lewis. . . absolutely worth every penny. I play this cd every single day!!!.


UNPOLISHED GEM


If you're a fan of Willie - and I am becoming one - you'll love the entire album. Yes the announcer's voice should have been edited out but on the other hand it puts the concert into context and keeps you reminded that you're hearing an unpolished gem of a recording. If you're a little more discriminating there are some tracks that you should forgive and forget but decide on those for yourself.

The highlights are the Carole King duet on Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, the beautiful Lucinda Williams duet on Overtime,Pancho and Lefty and Mama Tried with Merle Haggard, Stormy Weather with Shelby Lynne, We Had It All with Keith Richards, I'll Never Be Free with Lee Anne Womack and the last two all-band tracks that are just plain good fun.

Another reviewer commented on the house-band and it truly smokes, moving into and out of every style with no effort. If you want a good fun album this is hard to beat even if forgivably flawed.

Tonight You're Mine
To a great extent, I found the announcer's introductions over the music to be irritating with repeated listenings. This live outing from Willie Nelson & friends is a good set. I'd rather just hear the music and look @ the insert to see who's playing. However, the music is great! Toby Keith & Willie smoke on the openers, "Georgia On A Fast Train" & "Ramblin' Fever" with Joe Walsh on guitar. Willie gets soulfully blusey with Al Green's somewhat over-enthusiastic exclamations on "Rainin' In My Heart. " Shelby Lynn is a talented artist who does a great croon on Willie's western swing version of "Stormy Weather. " Pop icon Carole King joins Willie for the classic melody "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. " This track was the reason I picked up the CD & did not disappoint as these two musical veterans blend lovingly onstage. Lee Ann Womack (whose new CD "There's More Where That Came From" is great!) does a lively job with Willie that makes it seem that they're having great fun together. Townes Van Zandt's often-covered tune "Pancho & Lefty" is given a great reading with Willie, Merle Haggard & Toby Keith. Willie joins Lucinda Williams on "Overtime," a song she recorded for her stunning "World Without Tears" CD. Their voices blend seamlessly, expressing great longing. "Comes Love" is a great standard that's been recorded from everyone from Toni Price to Peter Cincotti. Here, Rickie Lee Jones' jazzy swagger joins Willie Nelson for a spirited version of this classic standard. This live set is interesting to see how Willie blends with a diverse group of artists. Enjoy!.
