This CD commemorates Willie Nelson's 70th Birthday (April 30, 2003).

The catalog of Willie Nelson is so vast and rich that assembling an "essential"
collection of only one or two discs seems nearly impossible. RCA's single-disc
1995 attempt ... Full Descriptionwas admirable and worthy, but doomed by space
limitations. With a bit more room to move, Legacy's roomier two-disc collection is
about close as anyone could hope to come. We get the full view of the great
singer/songwriter's artistic journey.

"Hello Walls" and the evergreen "Crazy" hail from the days when Nelson was tooling
around Nashville as a songwriter for hire but mystifyingly unable to connect as a
solo artist. His transformation into a counterculture icon via the '70s "outlaw country"
movement is marked by the likes of "Me and Paul" and "Bloody Mary Morning." His tremendous
skill as in interpreter can be heard in such standards as "Blue Skies" and "Georgia on Mind,"
which helped make him a crossover success in the STARDUST era. Latter-day collaborations
with everyone from Aerosmith ("One Time Too Many") to U2 ("Slow Dancing") show Willie's
mercurial, eclectic nature. Add it all up and a portrait comes together of a man whose
artistic vision has carried him across decades and stylistic shifts aplenty and seen him through in style.

Recorded between 1961 & 2002.
