Mr Record Man - Early Singles As and Bs

'Mr. Record Man' contains the A and B sides of Willie Nelson's first 10 singles, presented chronologically, plus all the album-only tracks from his first long player 'And Then I Wrote'. This compilation shows that Willie Nelson was never short of talent, even though many years would pass before that talent was fully appreciated outside of his peer group. 'Mr. Record Man' is a musical testament to a genius in the making. Among the highlights here are Willie's versions of many of the best known country classics of the early 1960s, including "Crazy" (a hit for Patsy Cline), "Hello Walls" (Faron Young), "Night Life" (Ray Price) and "Funny How Time Slips Away" (Billy Walker/Jimmy Elledge). There are also a handful of duets with Shirley Collie, who became Willie's wife not long after they were recorded; including Willie's first country chart hit "Willingly".
