View More By Willie Nelson Our ReviewFollowing his politically charged 1990 album Third World Warrior, Kris Kristofferson took a five-year hiatus from recording only to reemerge renewed in 1995 with A Moment of Forever. Like his peers Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, Kristofferson found renewal in the ‘90s through collaboration with a younger producer. In the case of A Moment of Forever, that producer is Don Was. As Daniel Lanois did with Dylan and Rick Rubin did with Cash, Was helped to reinforce Kristofferson’s essential persona, and also encouraged him to find new aspects of his songwriting. In the classic mold, there are songs devoted to blistered romances and salty antiheroes, like the Sam Peckinpah tribute “Sam’s Song (Ask Any Working Girl).” However, the beautiful title track opens previously untapped channels of delicacy and earnestness. A Moment of Forever is one of the few Kristofferson albums that doesn’t feature his close-knit backing band and instead brings aboard top-tier session players like Jim Keltner and Benmont Tench. The stripped-down performances give the album a focused, sober air.. Customer ReviewsWillie's Winning Moment (4 stars)Willie Nelson doesn’t mince words to make a point.

His voice warbling and weathered but unsparing in tone, he delivers an unembellished versi Willie Hits Another One Out of the Park (5 stars) With impeccably produced originals and unforgettable covers, Willie once again shows why he's one of the greatest singer-songwriters still working in any genre. His cover of Dave Matthews' "Gravedigger" is getting some attention (and a video) but his take on Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" is the best since Bob himself. This is not just an album for country music fans. In fact, it isn't really country at all in some Still going strong!!! (5 stars) Very happy to get some more Willie.... I'm a Willie freak... seen him in concert about 23 times... most recently 13 days ago.... anyway.... Love the new CD..... "I'm Alive", "Gotta Serve Somebody" (written by Bob Dylan), and "You don't think I'm funny anymore" are three of my favorites so far, but the whole CD is really good... BiographyBorn: April 30, 1933 in Fort Worth, TXGenre: Country Years Active: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s As a songwriter and a performer, Willie Nelson played a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Although he didn't become a star until the mid-'70s, Nelson spent the '60s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price ("Night Life"), Patsy Cline ("Crazy"), Faron Young ("Hello Walls"), and Billy Walker ("Funny How Time Slips Away") as well as releasing a series of records on Liberty and RCA that earned him a small, but devoted, cult following. During the early '70s, Willie aligned...
