Willie Nelson recorded for many labels during the course of his lengthy career, but
his greatest commercial success arrived during his time on Columbia
during the late '70s and early '80s, which is one of the reasons that
the career-spanning double-disc collection The Essential Willie Nelson
appeared on Columbia/Legacy in 2003. The other reason, of course, is
that during the first part of the 2000s, Legacy had been turning out
cross-licensed, multi-label compilations of artists who hopped around
from label to label or had unwieldy careers. Willie
is a perfect example of this, as he had five significant stays at
labels (in chronological order: Liberty, RCA, Atlantic, Columbia,
Island), surrounded by a bunch of detours to independent labels, or
duets never featured on his official records, all of which makes the
task of assembling a concise, definitive collection a difficult one.
With its 41 tracks, spanning nearly 40 years of recording, The Essential Willie Nelson
gets about as close as a set could to providing the basics. That
doesn't mean that it's perfect, of course. It naturally relies heavily
on the Columbia recordings, since it was both his popular peak and the
label that released this collection, with 25 of the tracks dating from
this era. To a certain extent, this shortchanges the brilliant Atlantic
records Shotgun Willie and Phases and Stages, as well as his fascinatingly erratic RCA recordings (found in their entirety on the Bear Family box Nashville Was the Roughest),
but it's also true that the entire first disc, which runs from "Night
Life" and "Hello Walls" through "Me and Paul" and "Bloody Mary Morning,"
all the way to Stardust,
has a great momentum and summarizes this transition very well. The
second disc picks up this thread well for the first 12 songs or so,
covering Honeysuckle Rose and "Always on My Mind," along with some duets
("Pancho & Lefty" with Merle Haggard, "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" with Julio Iglesias) before it loses steam as it approaches the mid-'80s -- not so coincidentally, precisely the time that Willie's
career was briefly derailed in a dispute with the IRS. From here on
out, the compilation relies too heavily on idiosyncratic selections
(partially because he stopped having hits, making selection a matter of
picking fan favorites) and duets, including the rarities "Slow Dancing"
and "One Time Too Many," where Willie is backed by U2 and Aerosmith,
respectively, giving the very end of this collection an inappropriately
sour aftertaste. These are minor problems, since the overall collection
is as generous as Willie Nelson's
music itself and it will likely satisfy the needs of most listeners
wanting only one disc in their collection. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic
