superunnatürlich

This album was the attempt failed, the system of Santana's "Supernatural" apply to Willie Nelson. So character times to repaint a half-forgotten veteran from the on-to-date and to serve him as the scent of adventure after yawing (post) -MTV generation.

it worked not because Willie Nelson thankfully not elastic enough for such is verbiegungsszenarien. this album can be heard at every time ton that it is not true, is not honest, that it is only doing so as if.

the songs do not come up on one of Nelson itself, but from the song supermarket. striking on their otherworldly art again impressive cover of Cindy Lauper's "Time After Time" (which yes has found one of the few 80-pieces entrance into American Songbook) is. Most of the contributions derived from matchbox-20-chef Rob Thomas, who has already santana and other supplies with hits. his kitsch-laden poprock fits Nelson about as good to Willie, as if you leave Rainhard Fendrich compose for him.

the arrangements of this album are a single wrong theme: it sounds like trying to readjust a large, classic Elton John production from today's perspective with inadequate means (Bernie Taupin is incidentally involved in some songs): are moderately rumbling country rock various wind instruments and Strings drübergesülzt, which should make the pieces seem broad, but they only shrink in truth. also shows here once again that the better the musicians are often worse: super cracks as Kenny Aronoff and Lee Sklar this music with the fun exempt unit of a doctoral thesis, a model student detention, cold, seemingly dead.

another word about the cover - which is a single attempt to deceive buyers. you can see a black and white photo of Willie with his battered guitar. Seeing this, one suspects "aha, Willie Nelson on essential reduced, Rick Rubin-style". listen to but you get Willie Nelson, pimped to pseudo popstar. On the other hand, the photo, but also something honest: Willie Nelson's eyes are in fact cut off - he could not look likely.

a small event, this board yet, you baffled experienced as the great, wild willie nelson even in this awkward setting his dignity preserved. In the end he is stronger than all the kitsch, which one expects of him here.
