Singer Willie Nelson is joined onstage by his back-up singing daughters, Amy Nelson, 5, and Paula Nelson, 9, at a White House reception, Sept. 13, 1978, for the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing .Nelson’s discography doesn’t have unturned stones exactly, simply because at 90, he remains a vital and present artist. Someone, somewhere is always rooting through his work. Still, there are outliers that should have drawn more notice than they did. That “Spirit” showed up at No.
Willie Nelson performs at the Texas Salt Dome Festival held at Houston Raceway Park, Saturday, June 3, 1989He was well positioned for a comeback, which he delivered with the 1993 album “Across the Borderline,” which enjoyed positive reviews and strong sales. The album placed a few Nelson originals alongside songs by writers like Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Lyle Lovett.
“We’d just finished a tour and I’d gone home,” Raphael says. “He had this idea, and he just put it down. And it sounded so good, just like that. He didn’t need me. I’d love to have played on it. But the album didn’t need it. I’ve seen him do this. He just puts ideas down, but they sound finished.” But “Spirit” stumbled. Nelson and his new label appeared at odds before he’d even released a single note of music for it. Photographer Chris Buck shot the iconic cover image: Nelson’s lined face framed by his hair and a hat/bandanna combination staring through the camera. He says Nelson wanted a work by an artist on the cover. Island likely wanted to strike a similar vibe to the stark black-and-white cover of Johnny Cash’s comeback album, “American Recordings,” two years earlier.
