Description
Cut for Blue Note with Tommy LiPuma producing, Willie Nelson’s American Classic finds him slipping back into standards with that behind-the-beat drawl and nylon-string filigree. Ain’t Misbehavin’ lopes with brushed cymbals as he threads little descending runs between the vocal lines, and The Nearness of You stays almost a whisper, air and all. Fly Me to the Moon swings lighter than the Sinatra template, the bass walking patiently under his pocket. His Trigger tone stays dry and percussive, and the band leaves him plenty of air. Phrasing lands a hair behind the beat and never hurries.
This LP pressing does it real justice, opening up space around the trio and letting the low end sit deeper without clouding Willie’s voice. The room comes through, right down to the piano pedal thumps. It feels like a small club set caught after hours.
You can buy Willie Nelson records online here if you prefer. File it next to Tony Bennett’s late songbook sets; the conversational phrasing and small-group polish make sense together. Perfect for a small dinner with friends or a 1 a.m. wind-down. Arrangements stay lean, the swing unforced, and the guitar comping is as conversational as the singing.
