    In total, a pleasant, charm-filled release but no great addition to the Nelson canon. [Feb 2015, p.95]

    The laidback intimacy of the recording reaps especially rich rewards on the heartbreaking Sad Songs And Waltzes, further enhanced by Mickey Raphael’s harmonica. It’s the sibling bond that’s strongest, though: a whole history of great American music coursing through the Nelson blood.

    Indulgent perhaps, but Nelson’s worn, almost conversational vocals remain arresting.

    An unfortunate monotony sets in with the slow tempos, but Nelson’s acoustic guitar provides some life on Django Reinhardt’s “Nuages.” This appears to be a special album for Willie; whether it will be so for his fans is open to debate.
