Ride Me Back Home

I am a forever fan of Willie!! I own all of his music. I heard this on it's release day on the radio. I immediately bought it! The songs are great. At 85 years of age Willie still sounds as good as ever. He is a living legend. I love It's Hard To be Humble. Keep it up Willie. Can't see what he does next. And when he plays "Trigger", you definitely recognize the sound of that guitar. Keep em coming!

Saw him Saturday night in concert. Heard 3 of his new songs, came home ordered the new album, it was here Monday. I've been playing it non-stop since. Incredible at 86... I'm in awe, love him - this is country at it's finest.

I am a Willie Nelson fan of many years.Loved this CD.Favorite song: Ride Me Back HomeI am a music lover married to a trumpet player for 3+ decades. Live around lots of different music.This CD is great for just sitting and listening, driving, paying bills (which I am doing during this listen), dinner music, and many other situations.I am a first-level music listener married to a trumpet player for 3+ decades. I love Willie Nelson’s music, and this CD, for the way his music speaks feelings and thoughts so perfectly. He often speaks my heart so perfectly, with no extra words or notes, that I find a tear rolling down my eye. I am often back cuddling in the big green chair with my father in the living room when I listen to Willie Nelson.If you want to experience Willie Nelson, the musician, for the first time; add another great CD to your music collection; or sit in your Jeep at 7,000 feet in the Sierras and take in the view with some great music, like me, buy this CD.Happy Listening!

I really like this CD he has Two of Guy Clark's songs in this one that I really like, yes some of these songs are by other people but Willie knows how to sing them doesn't matter, I love Willie.

Willie never ceases to amaze me. He is 86 years old and still turning out quality CDs. This one is one of his best and can stand up against recordings he made 30 years ago. IT'S HARD TO BE HUMBLE is a riot and just as good as Mac Davis' original recording. I wish my friend, Nick Hunter, were still alive to hear this gem. Five stars for Willie!!!!!!!!!!!

Seven Year Itch and Immigrant Eyes are stand out cuts. The rest a mixed bag that seem to have little in common with one another. This album stands in the shadow of recent releases.

Willie is still Willie. His voice may be a little weaker, his face more wrinkled and his hair more grey. But Willie is still Willie. He still plays that same guitar with that unmistakable style, still sings behind the beat and still sounds like the cherished old friend we've known all our lives. Like a favorite uncle, telling us a story with a twinkle in his eye. His latest CD is a welcome missive from a genius troubadour, a message of music from a living face on country's Mount Rushmore. He is happy and sad, as serious as gravity and as merry as the morning. He's still here, still as brilliant as ever, and he still matters. Willie is still Willie. Here's hoping he always will be.

He continues to amaze me with his songs and style with which he does the unthinkable. Kudos...

This album is a cracker. I could listen to it on repeat for weeks and still find it enjoyable. For me, 'Time' is the best track here, great fun and witty too, everything a Willie Nelson track should be. This album was bought at the same time as Western Stars by Bruce Springsteen. I was looking forward to Western Stars so much yet it disappointed me in almost every way. Perhaps I should have listened to Western Stars before Ride Me Back Home? After the joy of Ride Me Back Home, Western Stars sounds as though all the music and enjoyment has been sucked out of it, I dislike Western Stars by almost as much as I love Ride Me Back Home. Sorry Bruce, but big thanks to Willie. This is an album I'll never tire of.

Lebst du noch oder hörst du schon Country...Um es klar zu sagen, ich lebe noch und ziehe mir hier und da meine Portion Country rein. Diese kommt allerdings in diesen Tagen sehr geballt. Am vergangenen Freitag war es Bruce Springsteen, der uns mit "Western stars" beglückte. Nun haut Willie Nelson noch mal einen richtigen Country-Kracher raus. Eigentlich habe ich ja gedacht, irgendwann muss auch mal Schluss sein, hat der Mann mir mit 86 Jahren noch was zu sagen? "God's problem child" habe ich mir noch angehört, bei "Last man standing" habe ich mich (noch) verweigert, an "My way" kam ich zunächst nicht so richtig ran, doch was ich von "Ride me back home" gehört habe, macht mich nicht nur neugierig, nein diese vorab Veröffentlichungen begeisterten mich und so habe ich gleich die CD geordert. Die kam, bedingt durch den Feiertag, etwas zu früh und so hatte ich reichlich Zeit, vor diesen Zeilen das Werk ausgiebig zu hören.Insgesamt absolvierte die CD bislang fünf komplette Plays und ich bin, wie gesagt, auf ganzer Linie begeistert. Nelson startet mit einem klassischen Countrysong, eben dem Titelsong des Albums. Dieser steht am Anfang einer kleinen Reise voller Liebe und Leben eines, na sagen wir greisen und weisen Willie Nelson, der anders als Bruce Springsteen vor Wochenfrist sich auch politisch äußert.Das Album mit vielen glaubhaften Lebensweisheiten, politischen Statements, einem hervorragenden Billy Joel-Cover mit exzellenten Melodien ist schlicht weg grandios und empfehlenswert.Ich scheute die Ausgabe der LP und zog die preiswerte Variante vor, nun muss ich nachlegen, denn dieses Werk verdient es in Vinyl angeschafft zu werden.

A total Willie obsessive, so therefore will always order anything new. It’s a nice, calming album. It’s not his greatest, not quite up there with God’s Problem Child but it’s still lovely to hear his voice. Keep going Willie!

Willie's voice has reached full maturity and sounds better than ever. The compositions and the playing, the production and art work, it's all authentic and soulful. If you're looking for music to comfort you in these trouble times, Willie's the guy to turn to.

The delivery was spot on now we have a new CD to play on the holiday journey . Great CD and pic folder plus all the words.Thanks Amazon and Willie,
