Great album....but I bought it a couple years ago ago and some months ago most of the songs just wouldn’t play. I’d get an error saying “this song is not available in your country”. I’m in the US of flipping A. So much for supporting artists and not pirating music. Anyhow....now i see the full album available for purchase here. I’d call Apple and complain that I want a refund if it weren’t so futile to do so.

I don’t know what is up with this but it is NOT the original Essential Willie Nelson collection. Some songs are missing and others are weird/different versions of what was originally released in the Essential collection on disc many years before this. That’s really unfortunate. Willie Nelson is great but the tweaks to the Essential collection are not. Bummer. I recommend seeking out the original CD release of this collection, if it still exists.

This is the epitome of generations of country music.

Where’s Lumberjack ? One of his very first recorded songs,& it’s great !!!

A little late to explore Willie’s music but my mom loved him. So I’m buying this album for the good times.

You can't have enough Willie!
