Before there was Willie Nelson the cultural icon, there was Willie Nelson the sublime songsmith and struggling recording artist. Years ahead of his time, Willie languished in relative obscurity from the mid '60s to the early '70s as RCA Victor producer extraordinaire Chet Atkins experimented with different methods of marketing him to the masses. Now, for the very first time, Willie's poetic sides from that period are curated and presented in a single compilation! Astonishing, mind-bending cuts like Jimmy's Road and It Will Come to Pass are just two examples of some of the most philosophical and lysergic sounds ever captured in a Nashville studio! The 28 tracks on this deluxe edition-many of them previously unreleased-have been remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes and are accompanied by exclusive liner notes and rare photos!
