BOTH SIDES NOW
| Willie NelsonBOTH SIDES NOW
With the dawn of the new decade, Nelson had not achieved the commercial success at RCA that he had hoped for. He gained a measure of fame writing songs that were hits for Faron Young ( Hello Walls ), Billy Walker ("Funny How Time Slips Away ), Patsy Cline ( Crazy ), and Roy Orbison ( Pretty Paper"), but most of his singles stalled on the charts, his biggest single at RCA being the Vegas-styled cover Bring Me Sunshine, which hit number 13. His producer, RCA head Chet Atkins, had tried various approaches, from a live LP to a Texas-themed concept album, but success remained elusive. -Wikipedia

The title track aside, this is a pretty good album. While there aren't as many originals on this record as some of his albums released around this time, he manages to get something new out of several of his covers.
