Search - Willie Nelson :: Troublemaker

An Awesome Album

"If you know about Willie's troubled life, especially in the mid '70's when this album was recorded, you can appreciate the irony of his recording of a gospel albumWith his trademark guitar riffs, this album is pure Willie. The title track, "Troublemaker", is especially poignant in light of the recent Gulf War II. The rest of the songs are all traditional gospel sing-alongs that will have you toe tapping and clapping. His version of "Will the Circle be Unbroken" has different lyrics than Mother Maybelle Carter's better known version but Willie's sounds to be the more traditional.I highly recommend this CD."

"I have searched for years for Lee Hazelwood's version of "The Troublemaker." I did not know until today that Willie Nelson actually wrote it. I was very disappointed to find that, even Amazon.com, does not have a sample of the cut to listen to. I rated it 5 stars because I do not want to prejudice other buyers."

Willie's Gospel

"This is a great gospel album. I found an old cassette at an auction in New york and listened to it for years. It has the great old time hymns which are classic. I was very happy to see it released on CD."
