Album Notes & Community Reviews

Willie Nelson radically departed from his outlaw country roots by releasing this gorgeously mellow, remarkably successful collection of traditional pop standards. Produced by Booker T. Jones, 'Stardust' recasts Great American Songbook classics into deeply peaceful, profoundly longing country-soul ballads featuring wonderfully soothing, nocturnal acoustic arrangements.
