Product Overview
Willie Nelson - Ride Me Back Home (CD) Ride Me Back Home is another incredible addition to Willie Nelson's legendary catalogue that finds him working once again with producer Buddy Cannon. Ride Me Back Home sits beside 2017's God's Problem Child and 2018's Last Man Standing as a trilogy of superior songcraft exploring ideas of mortality with wisdom, empathy and a winking love of life. Nelson and Cannon cowrote a handful of songs but also call on their favorite songsmithsægreat writers with great stories to tell: Sonny Throckmorton, Guy Clark, Mac Davis, Buzz Rabin. The result is a magical collection of tunes with emphasis on the lyric. Backed by an amazing band of Nashville gunslingers, Ride Me Back Home finds Willie Nelson making some of the most inspired work of his career. Alongside his new compositions on the album and the title track (which Throckmorton co-wrote with his daughter Debby, Joe Manual & Lucinda Hinton), Willie pays musical tribute to a variety of pop and country songwriters and performers, covering Billy Joel ("Just the Way You Are"), Mac Davis ("It's Hard to Be Humble" with Lukas Nelson and Micah Nelson) and a pair of songs by the late American country/folk artist Guy Clark ("Immigrant Eyes" and "My Favourite Picture of You," the title song from Clark's 2014 Grammy-winning Best Folk Album) "With Willie Nelson's Ride Me Back Home, the artist rounds out a trilogy about mortality that began in 2017 with God's Problem Child and was followed in 2018 with Last Man Standing," observed American writer and music journalist Mikal Gilmore. "Ride Me Back Home, though, brings a different component of mortality into view: empathy.Ý TRACKLISTING 1. Ride Me Back Home 2. Come On Time 3. My Favourite Picture of You 4. Seven Year Itch 5.
