Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Last of the Breed but still the best! Comment: This is probably the best CD purchase I have ever made. The only way to describe it is "Timeless Classics". Ray Price has always been a "Class Act", but better than ever to me. Merle's Gospel addition is wonderful. You couldn't write it like that, without feeling it. Willie is still "Willie". Everybody loves him. Customer Rating: Summary: Last of the Breed Comment: Enjoyed it very much, this is the last of the Breed that is for sure.No one else like them. Customer Rating: Summary: Just one more thing. . . Comment: Not much more to say about this album, it's been said many times here -- just great! However, I don't think anyone has mentioned the dual fiddles -- Johnny Gimble, for sure, but right beside him duetting throughout is the splendiferous Elana James, formerly (and occasionally still) of Hot Club of Cowtown. Really adds something extra! And check out her own CD, Elana James, also just out. Customer Rating: Summary: Why is this a double album? Comment: This is some good old school country tonk by 3 guys who know their stuff. But it makes no sense whatsoever that this is a double album. Both the discs are barely over 30 minutes long each. There is some good stuff in here but it won't raise your pulse much. Still, its the holy grail compared to the Willie rip off CD "So Much To Do" which never should've seen the light of day (20 minutes long, already released demos). Customer Rating: Summary: Willie, Merle & Ray Together Comment: It's wonderful to hear Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ray Price sing some old favorites Their voices are past their prime, but it's still a pleasure to listen to this group.

Editorial Reviews: Once an Outlaw, later a Highwayman, now an elder statesman, Willie Nelson joins forces with Merle Haggard and Ray Price (both of whom have recorded duet albums with Nelson) in a celebration of the classic country song. Everything about this is defiantly old school, from the production by veteran Fred Foster and the musical support from steel guitarist Buddy Emmons and Texas Playboy fiddler Johnny Gimble and vocal backing from the Jordanaires to songs from the likes of Harlan Howard, Leon Payne, and Lefty Frizzell. For all of the artists' generational ties, their differences are what distinguish the project: Nelson is the reediest and most conversational vocalist, Haggard the bluesiest; and Price remains the quintessential countrypolitan crooner. Whether they're harmonizing on Mickey Newbury's "Sweet Memories" or trading verses on Howard's "Pick Me Up on Your Way Down," the vocal blend suggests old friends having the time of their musical lives. Guests include Vince Gill (on "Heartaches by the Number") and Kris Kristofferson (on his Why Me Lord"), but a trio like this doesn't need much outside assistance. --Don McLeese
