Albums, Ranked
Willie Nelson may exist the most important figure in country music history; if he'south not, only Hank Williams matters more. Willie's also one of the most important musical artists in American history, a first-name-only behemothic like Elvis and Ella. The contours of the career that brought him to those heights are familiar. At that place was the huge, early-sixties success writing songs like "Crazy" and "Hello Walls" for large country stars, then the failed attempt to get one himself over the residue of the decade, his talents an sick fit for a stiff Nashville mold. There was his bawdy rebirth in Austin in the seventies, when he started playing by his own rules and helped invent the outlaw subgenre that fabricated country cool for a younger, rock-bred audition.
He grew that entreatment worldwide with the pop mega-stardom that came in the eighties, and then, in the three decades that have followed—right up to today—he's washed pretty much whatever he's wanted, as often as he'south wanted, which has been extremely often. He'southward recorded hard-core country, western swing, gospel, flamenco, full-on orchestra, modest-combo jazz, and solo acoustic music. He'southward collaborated with everyone from Waylon Jennings to Bob Dylan to Carlos Santana to Mavis Staples to Steven Tyler to Snoop, which is a laughably small sampling of his many duet partners. And through it all, he has fabricated his way by staying true to himself.
It's a remarkable story, a meaningful inspiration for millions of fans, a great thing to think about when you listen to Red Headed Stranger. But like a bad biopic, the story is oversimplified. For one thing, it creates bullheaded spots. Many fans tend to call back that Willie's early on Nashville-sound records aren't worth a listen considering he hadn't grown his hair out however. Some people assume that his collaborations with lesser-known artists must be of lesser quality; that his pro-weed songs of the 2010s—"Curlicue Me Upwardly and Smoke Me When I Die" and "It'due south All Going to Pot"—must be novelties, that his 2005 reggae album, Countryman, must exist a bad idea from beginning to end. Then they don't give those records a chance. So there's the matter of the sheer amount of music he's released. He cutting his first tracks in 1954; his latest album, First Rose of Spring, is due in July, and he seldom slowed down in the 66 years in between. A fan might feel justified in thinking that the x Willie albums they already ain are all the Willie they need.
Late last summer, Texas Monthly set out to right the record. Our plan was to listen to, rank, and review every Willie anthology. The beginning pace alone was a monster; merely identifying every anthology was a massive undertaking. We excluded bootlegs and collections made up exclusively of previously released material—no greatest hits records—and still the number we arrived at was staggering: 145 singled-out, proper albums. Nosotros likewise formed the Committee, a group of fourteen knowledgeable fans—including Willie biographer Joe Nick Patoski, noted country historian Rich Kienzle, and songwriters Robert Earl Keen, Jack Ingram, Bruce and Charlie Robison, Monte Warden, and Damon Bramblett—who contributed ranked lists of their favorite records. A byzantine scoring system was devised, and then a smaller grouping—the writers with bylines below—started assigning points to records. Finally, after months of telephone calls, e-mail threads, and one long, often heated pinnacle coming together in January, we arrived at this list.
In that location were many debates throughout the process, only one bears retelling. When I asked Warden to participate, I used the phrase "worst-to-outset" to describe the projection. He shot dorsum fast. "Alibi me," he said, "nosotros don't use the word 'worst' when we talk well-nigh Willie." The line was funny, merely it proved true. Think about it: The Beatles built their legacy on a mere xiii albums, non all of which are beloved. Simply the Willie album that comes in fourteenth on this listing is a lot of people'south favorite. The anthology that comes in fifty-first is one of mine. Fifty-fifty the hundredth album is pretty darn good. And that'southward the list's big revelation: about every Willie album has something to recommend it, a song or ii, or a story near how information technology was made, that gives distinct insight into Willie and his fine art. After all, the only way to really know Willie is to listen to his music. And there's enough of it that y'all haven't heard withal. –J.S.
