WILLIE NELSON. REVOLUTIONS OF TIME...THE JOURNEY 1975 - 1993 : One of Country & Westerns most popular distinctive singer/songwriters,
Willie Nelson started out as a songwriter without much of a solo singing career. He became a star doing mostly cover version of pop and C & W standards. Willie Nelson later wrote hits for many artists most notably
'Funny How Time Slips Away' for
Johnny Tillotson, '
Crazy' for
Patsy Cline and '
Pretty Paper' for
Roy Orbison. I wasn't much of a fan of
Willie Nelson 'cos I find his voice too surgery for me. I like my country a little rugged and rough around the edges. This triple CD was given to me as a gift from an estate agent from a place where I used to work. Probably to repay me for the many houses that I've recommended her. The three CDs are named respectively as
PILGRIMAGE, SOJOURNS & EXODUS. My favorites are
'Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain', ‘Always On My Mind' and
'To All The Girls I've Loved Before'. A lot of songs here I guess could be pleasant to the ears but I just can't bear the thought of listening to so many sugary sweet songs all at one sitting. I may get diabetes.
DOP : 14th Feburuary 1998. A gift from Chris Lim Chee Wah, a real estate agent.
WILLIE NELSON. 2 CD AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION : Sometimes, I amazed even myself. There I was just saying how sugary sweet Willie Nelson's voice was and here l found myself buying this CD. I remember when I bought it but I can't for the life of me remember why. Probably it's the price that attracted me more than the subject matter. 57 songs in all. and not one of them is familiar to me. I will, however, honored it by playing it at a later date and write more about it.

THE PLATINUM COLLECTION. THE VERY BEST OF JOHNNY CASH . 28 ORIGINAL GREATEST HITS : I've always like the Man In Black. He got a straight no nonsense rugged voice that command you to hear when he sings. I remember staying up late to watch his
“Johnny Cash Show" on TV. My favorites here are
'I Walk The Line', 'Folsom Prison Blues', and
'Don't Take Your Gun To Town', the last two even my son loves. His version of
Bob Dylan's
'It Ain't Me Baby' was a hit, likewise
'Sunday Morning Coming Down' which gives
Kris Kristofferson his first break. If not for
Johnny Cash's cover of this song and his encouragement,
Kris Kristofferson may well just continue with his daytime job as a janitor where
Johnny Cash records and we would have lost a major star.

Johnny Cash in early 1968 and remained married till death does them apart. They died within days of each other. This CD consists of 16 tracks, which includes
'Jackson', Help Me Make It Through The Night' and and old favorites,
