Great album
He played many of the songs on this album at the concert, and I wanted to remember one of the best concerts I have been to in years. After seeing Willie Nelson in concert I wanted to get his latest album. .


Willie Nelson Forever
This is on par with some of Johnny Cash's late work with Rick Rubin and provides more evidence that some artists just get better with age. Moment of Forever is the most solid album by Willie Nelson in many many years. Nelson's voice is as good as ever and has a richness and depth that some of his more recent works haven't had. His pairing with new-country idol, Kenny Chesney seems to have breathed new life into Willie.

There isn't a bad track on the album, but my favorite, by far, is his cover of Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody". As a Dylan fanatic I must admit that Willie's version is better than Dylan's version. So soulful and heartfelt.

Willie also strikes gold with his cover of "Gravedigger". The video for this song is just flawless. Also notable are the title track, "Moment of Forever" and "I'm Alive". And Nelson is indeed Alive on this collection. Even The Bob Song, which I initially hated has grown on me and I certainly appreciate the silliness of the song.

Overall, I think this has to go down with Nelson classics like Red-Headed Stranger and Phases and Stages as his best work to date. We can only hope that Nelson continues with this momentum and keeps making such great records.


Willie at his best
Great way to spend an hour listening to him and his music. Willie's voice and attention to detail have grown over the years.


Willie can't make a bad record!
Like the man himself, "Moment" is a mixture of the sacred, like "Louisiana" and "Always Now," and profane, the "Bob Song" and "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore" - all thoroughly enjoyable. I remember listening to "Stardust" and "Red-Headed Stranger" in high school, and while "Moment of Forever" isn't his greatest work, it still is very good.

I was touched by "When I was Young and Grandma wasn't Old," given the relationship Willie and his sister had with their grandparents. I wonder if that song, which he didn't write, has some special meaning for him. And "Gravedigger," could that become a regular part of his repetoire now that he's turned 75?

I hope Willie lives forever, or at least till he's 103, and he keeps turning out albums like this, the aural equivalent of comfort food, regularly. .


Willie makes it seem effortless
That is a priceless gift. Willie Nelson's music, with this most recent CD, "Moment of Forever," has such a way of touching us, making us feel our most human and most transcendent selves. He does this with his ensemble, his guitar and his voice, making it look so very easy, while the patterns and creativity of a lifetime are behind all of it.
