Willie Nelson – Milk Cow Blues 2LP

Willie Nelson – Milk Cow Blues

Remastered from the Analog Tapes and Presented on 180g Vinyl 2LP for the First Time.

To borrow a phrase from his 1974 concept album, Willie Nelson’s career has been punctuated by phases and stages. 2000’s Milk Cow Blues is an animal of a different hue and finds Willie backed by the Antone’s blues band and his harmonica player Mickey Raphael. Featuring contributions from B.B. King, Dr. John, Keb Mo, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Johnny Lang and Susan Tedeschi, the Island Records release matches a few old school gems from the Nelson songbook – “Funny How Time Slips Away,” “Night Life” and “Wake Me When It’s Over” – with choice blues cuts like “The Thrill Is Gone,” “Fool’s Paradise” and the jaunty “Sittin’ On Top of the World.” American Blues Scene wrote that, “Milk Cow Blues works on several levels: It’s convincing, striking blues, that still exudes Willie’s uniquely understated but caring touch.” Remastered from the analog tapes and presented on vinyl for the first time as a 180-gram 2LP-set.
