Willie Nelson ‘Bluegrass’ Album Review

Willie Nelson’s latest album amply demonstrates his timeless talent; his longevity and musical diversity are unsurpassed in all of popular music.

While several of our selections are established country classics, recorded decades ago, there are a few surprises here.

The album is destined to be a classic, perhaps an underground classic, but that doesn’t diminish the wonder of this music.

Steve Earle’s divorce album ‘Terraplane’ is a tour de force, a killer record of confessional blues and sex-drenched regret.

Virtuoso playing. Exuberant singing in the traditional bluegrass manner. Highly recommended for the sheer joy of it.

The Jayhawks recently issued their strongest record in years, issuing a commanding challenge to others in the roots/alt-country arena.
