Willie Nelson goes back to his roots with a songbook of classic Americana. Country Music was recorded in Nashville and produced by T Bone Burnett.
Nelson wrote one track on the album, "Man With The Blues" and, with T Bone Burnett, coarranged three traditional songs, "Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down," "I Am A Pilgrim," and "Nobody's Fault But Mine." The album also features many popular old-time/bluegrass/folk songs including Ernest Tubb's "Seaman's Blues, Merle Travis' "Dark As A Dungeon," and Doc Watson's "Freight Train Boogie". Willie Nelson collaborated with many musicians on Country Music including old-time banjo master Riley Baugus, double bassist Dennis Crouch, and T Bone himself, all musicians featured on Raising Sand, the 2009 Grammy® award-winning Album of the Year by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
This is Willie Nelson's Country Music. And it ought to be yours.
