Dating from Willie Nelson's early-'60s attempts to become a star in the Nashville mold, this collection of early recordings includes both publishers' demos and album cuts. Songs like "You Wouldn't Cross the Street to Say Goodbye" and "Undo the Right" display both Nelson's innate ability with a lyric and his trademark melancholy slant, and though these recordings lack the customary Nashville polish, their honesty, and the grit in Nelson's vocals, stand the test of time.
