Love listening to Willie Nelson. I want to see if there are any hidden gems out there that I am missing. His cover of Pancho and Lefty is one of my favorite songs ever. Seven Spanish Angels is also great. I know all the really popular ones but I want to see if any of y'all can point me toward some I probably haven't heard.

Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground has always been my favorite.

His cover of Coldplay's "The Scientist" is one of my favorites.

It's hard to pinpoint favorites from a man with over 50 albums. You haven't scratched the surface yet. I like a lot of his stuff from the 70s and 80s though. The outlaws album and highwaymen stuff is always good listening.

it was absolutely perfect, almost like he was put on this earth to sing that song

Bloody Mary Morning

He came out with a new album recently, but I haven't had a chance to hear many tracks off of it.

Phases and Stages - the whole album. Concept album about a couple splitting up. First part told from the woman's point of view, second part from the guy's. He made two albums with Atlantic, this one and Shotgun Willie...both are just great albums.

Angel Flying Too Close is one of the greatest country songs of all time

Blue Crying in the Rain is also up there. And he and Ray Charles doing Seven Spanish Angels is almost as good as music gets.
