Description:

This is one crazy three-disc compilation from the Columbia River Entertainment Group. It contains a disc each devoted to Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings. In the case of Nelson, it contains a terrific live album with his Family Band. He runs through past hits including "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground," "On the Road Again," "Blue Eyes Cryin` in the Rain," "Whiskey River," "Always on My Mind," and some killer covers like Steve Goodman`s "City of New Orleans" and Lefty Frizzell`s "If You`ve Got the Money I`ve Got the Time." Likewise, the Hag`s disc features him in his prime, fronting a smoking big band -- complete with a horn section -- and running through tracks from his Capitol, Epic, and MCA periods, including "Ramblin` Fever," "The Bottle Let Me Down," "Mama Tried," and yes, "Okie from Muskogee," to mention a few. Those are both solid sets. The Jennings volume, however, is mainly a rehash of RCA material from the early years that`s been collected elsewhere and better. This box sells for a song, so it might be worth the purchase price just to snag the live albums by Nelson and Haggard. ~ Thom Jurek
