Willie Nelson - American Classic| Released on the venerable Blue Note label, the disc
features guest appearances by superstar jazz singers Norah Jones and
Diana Krall, but the focus is always placed squarely on Willie's
famously idiosyncratic vocals. AMERICAN CLASSIC does not feature
Willie's veteran band, but rather a core group of first-call studio
jazz cats including Christian McBride on bass, Joe Sample on piano, and
Lewis Nash on drums. The resultant sound is smooth, classy, and
subtle-a sonic horse of a different color from the exquisitely
ramshackle earthiness that made STARDUST so appealing and unusual. On
tunes such as the jaunty, gently swinging "On the Street Where You
Live" and "Since I Fell For You," which features long time Nelson
cohort Mickey Raphael on bluesy harmonica, Nelson sounds comfortable
and in command, gliding effortlessly over a great set of tunes played
by top-notch pros. | Willie
