Stardust Reprised August 27, 2009
Angel Delta (Southsea Hants)

So, you take a dozen classics from the Great American Songbook and you give them to Willie Nelson. Then, you mix in guest appearances by Diana Krall and Norah Jones, add renowned jazz cats Christian McBride (bass), Joe Sample (piano), and Louis Nash (drums) stir in Mickey Raphael on harmonica, season with a flourish of strings and what have you got? Well, you've got an album that is right up there with his 1978 masterpiece, Stardust

br /The astonishing thing about Willie Nelson is that, at the age of 76, his voice remains as strong and resonant as it always did and as totally irresistable. So too, is his ability to make these venerable old songs sound as fresh and original as the day that they were written and helped by the tight jazz trio that makes every note shine and sparkle. These songs have been sung by Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, Elvis Presley et al but on this album Willie makes them his own.
br /
br /From the swinging "On The Street Where You Live" to the lilting "Ain't Misbehaving"
br /and the hauntingly beautiful "Always On My Mind" Willie makes it clear that he was just born to sing these songs. He does it without any apparent effort, without pretension and with a passion for his craft that the years have not dimmed.
br /
br /This is a magical collection and the surprise is that it has taken the original Country Outlaw over thirty years to reprise "Stardust" to such glorious effect.

This is a lovely, lovely, dreamy, romantic CD just right for listening to on a big old comfy sofa on a cold inhospitable day weatherwise.

As always Willie Nelson sings in his own style. You either love him or hate him - I love him and this is another brilliant album in my collection.
