Title: Not all that Outlawish
Product review: It was with this theme album that Willie Nelson singlehandedly started the Outlaw Music craze that dominated Texas in the 1970s and 1980s. The songs tell a vague tale of a good love gone bad. The cowboy lyrics notwithstanding, this collection shows Nelson not seeking new paths but writing and singing very old-fashioned songs of love, sin, and redemption, the ultimate trinity of country music. Most listeners will assume that Nelson wrote the greatest hit on the album, the title cut, but it dates from Worlf War II and has been recorded by the disparate likes of Roy Acuff and Elvis. But no one has sung it with the same unabashed pathos as Willie Nelson.
