Hey, I forgot to share this picture of my Record Store Day find. I finally made it over to my favorite independent record store, Bart’s CD Shack to pick up my goodies. This year, Sugar Hill Records released a specsial vinyl version of “-Willie Nelson Crazy: The Demo Sessions” It sounds so great.
Willie Nelson
Crazy: The Demo Sessions
DETAILS
Format: 12″ Vinyl
Label: Sugar Hill
Release type: RSD Exclusive Release
When Willie first got to Nashville he cut some demos for Ray Price and Hal Smith’s publishing company, Pamper Music. Though these cuts were used to pitch songs to artists (including ‘Crazy’ for Patsy Cline) and producers, many weren’t released. These 1960-1966 tracks are raw, real and really good, clearly the work of an artist/songwriter headed for stardom.
And the other featured Record Store Willie Nelson record was a green vinyl album of “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”; two versions, one with Snoop Dog and Jamey Johnson from the ‘Heroes’ album, and the other a previously unreleased solo version. I haven’t played it yet, because I don’t have one of those little round things that you need to play 45s. I don’t even know where to buy one, but I guess that’s what google’s for.
