Willie Nelson

Lost Highway, 2008

Willie Nelson turns 75 in a few months and, like Old Man River, just keeps rolling along.

Nelson began his career in 1956. Since that time, he has written hundreds of songs, released over fifty albums and sold tens of millions of records and CDs. He has even starred in a number of Hollywood films. Along the way he developed a unique and recognizable vocal style and became an American musical icon.

Released in 2008, Moment Of Forever was produced by Kenny Chesney, who also duets on one of the songs. But this release is a mellow album that breaks no new ground.

As with most of Nelson’s latest releases, there are some high points and a number of average songs. Kris Kristofferson’s title song, “Moment Of Forever,” is made for his voice. Kristofferson has always been able to paint a picture with words and Nelson brings these words to life with his voice and acoustic guitar with minimal backing. Everyone has moments that remain forever.
