More so than most country artists, Willie Nelson is difficult to thoroughly investigate without delving into his individual releases, which often revolve around either musical or lyrical concepts. So give Columbia credit for assembling such a cohesive, provocative collection, one that covers every aspect of his glorious career and that amply showcases his distinctive singing, songwriting, and gut-string work. Disc 1 (entitled Pilgrimage), worth the price of admission alone, focuses on his remarkable 1970s and early-1980s work: the Red Headed Stranger cuts, the Lefty Frizzell tributes, the Stardust standards, searing live cuts, the Electric Horseman cowboy odes and Honeysuckle Rose gems, and the best of Always on My Mind. Disc 2 (Sojourns) pairs Nelson with an impressive array of partners: Haggard, Price, Miller, Pierce, Charles, Young (both Neil and Faron), Santana, Possum, Dylan, Cash, Snow, Jennings, Julio, Dolly, Kristofferson. Disc 3 (Exodus) collects the mid-1980s and early-1990s stuff, and while it contains moments of brilliance, it doesn't match up to the first two discs. All in all, a marvelous 60-song collection filled with an astonishing number of spine-chilling moments. --Marc GreilsamerCustomer Reviews:

Best known for his work as a songwriter, producer, and talent scout, singer-bassist Willie Dixon essentially built Chicago's Cobra and Chess labels with his sweat. Although this double-disc set does include five performances by the man from Vicksburg, Mississippi, himself, it's really a testament to his songwriting prowess, packed with recordings that made his tunes classics of blues and early rock & roll. There's Howlin' Wolf tearing through "Spoonful," "Little Red Rooster," "Evil," and "Back Door Man." There's Muddy Waters belting "You Shook Me," "Hoochie Coochie Man," and "I'm Ready." There's Bo Diddley delivering "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover" and Koko Taylor launching her career with "Wang Dang Doodle." The set features excellent liner notes, and its only disappointment is that its label-centricity excludes Dixon's work for Cobra with then-youngsters Otis Rush and Buddy Guy. --Ted DrozdowskiCustomer Reviews:
Original recordings of Willie Dixon's songs.......2007-06-22
Dixon started out as a studio bass player with Chess Records when it was a fledgling company started by the Chess brothers. The present set includes 36 songs written by Dixon, and performed by a variety of artists in addition to Dixon including Muddy Waters (Hoochie Coochie Man, etc.), Howlin Wolf (I Ain't Superstitious, etc.), Bo Diddley (Pretty Thing, and You Can't Tell a Book by its Cover), Koko Taylor (Wang Dang Doodle) and many others.
The boxed set is a must addition for your collection if you have a serious interest in blues. It also makes a good gift.
I would note that the Vicksburg Blues Society and others served as co-sponsors of the Willie Dixon Wang Dang Doodle Blues Festival held in Vicksburg in 2006. The City of Vicksburg has added a Willie Dixon mural to the murals on the Mississippi River floodwall near Catfish Row (the southern end of The Delta). The mursl, featuring the legendary Blue Room in the background, was painted by the noted mural artist Robert Dafford under the sponsorship of local blues patrons Ray and Nancy Neilsen.

Customer Reviews:
Too Much Bad Stuff Weighs This Boxset Down.......2006-08-08
The only albums of Willie Nelson's early career (before he shifted to Atlantic Records) that are really solid are Country Willie and Yesterday's Wine. All the other albums have a couple of good songs here or there, but mostly just fall flat- with boring tunes and very typical production of that time in Nashville.
This box set is definitely a testament of a great artist who started with a plenty of talent but with very little self style. On different records you can hear him imitating anything from Roy Orbison, Ray Price, Bob Willis, and even LA's 1960's psychedelic rock. He finally started coming into his own on Yesterday's Wine, which oddly enough doesn't sound too far removed from the sound of Country Willie, but with a more soulful earthiness.
There's no question that he really came into his own when he went to Atlantic and recorded Shotgun Willie and Phases & Stages back to back.
Nashville Was The Roughest is most certainly for completest, if you are interested in his early recording career there are plenty of "best of" compilations from during his RCA period.
Also of note are the recordings he did for Liberty records in the early 60's before he signed with RCA.

A stunning album.......2001-05-17
WILLIE IN HIS SONGWRITING PRIME.......2000-03-25
I have to agree with the music fan from Philly that this box set is a major release even though reviews have been less than stellar. It's not great from start to finish by any means but the critical reviews I've read have made too much of the lowlights and not enough of the highlights. The lowlights have mostly been attributed to "The Nashville Sound" which Chet Atkins, Willie's producer for some of this box set material, has been credited with pioneering. Country purists usually have a tough time with the Nashville Sound because it employs "violins" (not fiddles) and bland backup choirs. You will find that sort of thing on this set even though it wasn't the best setting for Willie. Chet Atkins has admitted that he didn't produce Willie properly but was forced to experiment because Willie just wasn't selling in this period. But the Nashville Sound is not the whole story of this set by any means.
Four songs into Disc 1 you have one of the greatest Willie songs of all time, "I Never Cared For You", and not a violin or choir in earshot. I first heard this song on Willie's recent "Teatro" album but the box set version is much better. This song is just the tip of the iceberg as far as quality songs are concerned. However, you have to be patient and really listen to these discs to get to the gems. On Disc 2, for instance, there is a great version of "San Antonio Rose" and a not-so-good, poppier version only two songs apart. The moral of the story is you don't know when or where you're going to find great songs. Besides the highlights listed above, I'd list some other standouts as "December Day", "Wild Memories",the Vietnam-themed "Jimmy's Road", a cover of Fred Neil's "Everbody's Talkin" (all Disc 4), "I Gotta Get Drunk", a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" (both Disc 5), and "Rainy Day Blues" (Disc 6). You'll find many more.
The bonus to this box set is the vintage mid-60s live Willie concert recording on Disc 8. If you're a Willie fan, you know Willie was never a musical snob or purist with tunnel vision when it came to doing material. The cover versions of the Joni Mitchell and Fred Neil tracks listed above as well as all the material on the classic "Stardust" album from the late 70s attest to Willie's eclectic tastes. On this live disc, Willie is already covering the recent (at that time) "Yesterday" by the Beatles. Again, the live recording is a real bonus.
If you're a big Willie fan and have the dough to plunk down for this box set, it is well worth your investment. It's not a greatest hits in that everything in terms of artistic quality or even sales is programmed back-to-back. But some of Willie's greatest songs, artistically speaking, are definitely found throughout these discs.

Great American Icon.......2005-06-21
Brilliant collection of Willie's best music.......2002-12-29
The songs from the Great American Songbook were originally released on his albums Stardust, Somewhere over the rainbow, Without a song, What a wonderful world and an album he did with Leon Russell (One for the road) - five albums that Willie recorded which were devoted entirely to these songs. The songs chosen for this collection include Blue skies, Georgia on my mind, Summertime, Mona Lisa, Harbor lights, Without a song and Ole buttermilk sky. Most (if not all) of the original albums from which these tracks are taken are still available. There is also a double-CD, All the songs I've loved before, which is dominated by these songs, only including a few country songs.
On this collection, there are plenty of country songs, including Willie's covers of Blue eyes crying in the rain, If you've got the money I've got the time and City of New Orleans. The middle of the three CD's is devoted to his duets with many different singers. You could fill several CD's with Willie's duets without including any guest twice, but the ones chosen for this selection offer an excellent representation of this aspect of his career.
Some people say that a collection like this does not Willie Nelson justice, because so many of his albums were themed. My answer to that is that this provides a great sampling of his career. After playing this a few times, you can decide which aspect of his music you like best and explore that in greater depth.

A series of Willie Nelson concept albums originally rejected by his record company forms the basis for a fascinating anthology. Willie Nelson: A Classic & Unreleased Collection includes Sugar Moon, an unreleased album of Western swing classics recorded with Merle Haggard's band, the Strangers; a would-be sequel, Willie Sings Hank Williams; the likewise unreleased Willie Nelson Live at the Texas Opry House; and unissued outtakes from various sessions, early songwriting demos, plus his very first single. First offered for sale in 1994 on the home-shopping channel QVC, an expanded, annotated version has finally been made available to retail outlets. The set brings to light a treasure trove of Nelson's unreleased work for Atlantic Records, to which Nelson was signed in 1972 by legendary R&B producer Jerry Wexler to launch a new country division. Atlantic only released two Nelson albums, but outtakes from those sessions include such highlights as a boisterous, R&B arrangement of Tillman's "I Gotta Have Something I Ain't Got" powered by Al Green's Memphis Horns and a spirited sprint led by David Bromberg through the swing instrumental, "Under the Double Eagle." The Atlantic legacy also yields the Texas Opry House performance, which would have been a landmark had the label not folded, scuttling release plans. Nelson had just entered his peak years, and he was touring with an all-star band that included fiddler Johnny Gimble, steel guitarist Jimmy Day, and harmonica whiz Mickey Raphael. Nelson is at his best on stage, and the highlight of this show was an impromptu segue from Nelson's "Bloody Mary Morning" into Bob Wills's "Take Me Back to Tulsa" and back again. --Geoffrey HimesCustomer Reviews:
