Album Notes & Community Reviews

Applying his signature acoustic warmth to the holiday season, 'Pretty Paper' features Willie Nelson interpreting classic carols alongside his own iconic title track. The record utilizes stripped-down, highly intimate production values, allowing his idiosyncratic phrasing and the delicate interplay of his guitar 'Trigger' to take center stage. It remains a beloved, enduringly pastoral country music standard.
