This anthology proves Willie Nelson was as much a country-music renegade when he wrote Patsy Cline's 1961 hit "Crazy" as he was in the Seventies when he grew out his hair, flipped Nashville the bird and cut Red Headed Stranger. His early-Sixties weepers, like "Hello Walls" and "Mr. Record Man," were characterized by an existential loneliness that followed the edgy, bluesy path of Hank Williams rather than the smooth pop freeway of an Eddy Arnold or a Jim Reeves. Though this career-spanning four-disc set also includes later chart-toppers such as "On the Road Again," "Always on My Mind" and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before," Nelson's most endearing work comes from the early Seventies: his raw duet with fellow "outlaw" Waylon Jennings on "Good Hearted Woman," the can-I-get-a-witness gospel of "Uncloudy Day," the pedal-steel-powered hangover "Bloody Mary Morning" and the spare beauty of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." The first disc compiles Nelson's earliest recordings, from the scratchy late-Fifties demos to his moody early-Sixties songs for Liberty Records, and the warm country folk he later recorded for RCA. This material has been maligned for its slick Nashville production, but Nelson's distinctive vocal phrasing and nylon-string guitar leads peep through, providing a nice foil for the lush strings and syrupy backup choir. Like most exhaustive sets, the last disc is the least interesting, as it picks from weaker late-period albums like the country-reggae hybrid Countryman. But even that disc includes tracks with teeth, such as "Write Your Own Songs," Nelson's jab at record executives — and perhaps music critics, too.
