Last year, Willie thoroughly charmed his legions of fans with Let’s Face the Music and Dance, a beguiling collection of pop, jazz and country standards. Just months later, out came To All the Girls…, a new album of duets with the likes of Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris (that recording featured mostly reprised Nelson classics and cover songs). Now, with Band of Brothers, we once again get to bask in the glow of the luminous talent that first brought Willie fame: songwriting. Nine of these 14 songs feature new Nelson music and lyrics: the introspective gems The Wall and Send Me a Picture; the rollicking Wives and Girlfriends; the witty and wise Used to Her, and more. Those join several new stellar song interpretations: Vince Gill’s Whenever You Come Around; Billy Joe Shaver’s The Git Go (with Jamey Johnson), and more. This is Willie’s first new album of (mostly) all original songs in nearly 20 years! Sony Legacy.
