Willie Nelson - Midnight Cowboy (2025)

The album "Midnight Cowboy" is a comprehensive archival collection featuring Willie Nelson’s pivotal recordings from the early 1960s. During this era, Nelson worked with Liberty Records and Era Records, laying the groundwork for his future as a country music legend. The compilation includes his own hits, such as "Touch Me" (which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard charts in 1962), alongside his renditions of songs he famously penned for others, like "Crazy" (immortalized by Patsy Cline) and "Hello Walls" (a hit for Faron Young). Stylistically, the release captures the essence of the Nashville Sound blended with honky-tonk, highlighting Nelson’s unique, laid-back vocal delivery and his unparalleled ability to craft songs reflecting themes of heartbreak and solitude.
