Willie Nelson - Lost Highway (2009)
Ratio: 4 / 5
Este nuevo trabajo de Willie Nelson se editó el 11 de agosto de 2009 abarcando un amplio espectro de estilos musicales y contando como invitados con un impresionante repertorio de artistas como, entre otros, Shania Twain (en el clásico "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain") y Ray Price ("Lost Highway" y "I'm Not Still Over You", esta última extraida de su álbum conjunto Run That By Me One More Time). O Elvis Costelo que junto a la mismísima Diana Krall se atreven con una nueva lectura de "Crazy". Evidentemente sin olvidar incluir sus exitosos dúos con Toby Keith en "Beer for my Horses" y Lee Ann Womack en "Mendocino County Line".
Se trata de un recopilatorio de temas provenientes de su trabajo con la discografica Lost Highway, desde el álbum the Great Divide (2002) a Moment of of Forever (2008), pasando por el homenaje a la autora de canciones Cindy Walker que editó Willie en 2006 o It Allways Be de 2004. Sólo incluye tres temas inéditos, pero, eso sí, mostrando su habilidad como compositor e intérprete en diferentes estilos.
Y que siga !!!

También hay un tema de la película Brokeback Mountain... que no es Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other que también encontramos aquí. Pero atención a la letra:
There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend.
Well small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes,
No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.
Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine,
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women,
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
What did you think those saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his
brother,
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie,
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies,
But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his
brother;
There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night.
Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper,
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:
When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister
Don't mess with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other —
Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns;
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his
brother;
There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done.
