Swan Swimming in the Blues and Waltzes
Willie's 151st album (how astonishing) and surely not a swan song but a swan gliding elegantly through a past catalogue. As bluegrass, it is a collection at the slower paced end of this C&W genre, not becuase of his age (90) but capturing the beauty of its gentler style. This is exemplified by the waltz and the country blues, for example Sad Songs and Waltzes and Home Motel respectively. There is great playing from the accompanying musicians, as well as fine harmonies, but it is always front-and-centre Nelson with the treasure trove of his songbook and vocal. Abolutely perfect.
