For Always

Description

Dive back into the roots of American country music with Willie Nelson – For Always, a timeless LP that captures the rise of one of the most iconic storytellers in music. In 1955, Nelson recorded his very first tracks "The Storm Has Just Begun" and "When I've Sung My Last Hillbilly Song," modest beginnings that hinted at the genius to come. Shortly after, while touring as a bassist with Ray Price's Cherokee Cowboys, his songwriting lit up the charts for other artists. "Funny How Time Slips Away" became a hit for Billy Walker, and "Crazy," made famous by Patsy Cline, became the biggest jukebox hit of all time. This album also celebrates Nelson's early success as an artist, with his first singles charting "Willingly" (a heartfelt duet with Shirley Collie) and "Touch Me," two early glimpses of the sweet and soulful sound that would define his career. Essential for any country music lover, this record tells the story of where the legend began.
