    Fortunately for us, Nelson keeps probing. He’s examined his favorite music. He’s thought about death. Now he’s just being Willie Nelson, leading to an album that stands out even in his current era of critical success.

    The album carries a lightness that's emphasized by its brisk running time. That might mean The Border, unlike A Beautiful Time, doesn't quite feel like a final chapter but rather a welcome coda restating Nelson's strengths with casual ease.
