Willie Nelson was better known as a highly successful composer of some of Nashville's most deeply personal songs ("Hello, Walls," "Crazy," "Night Life") and as one of the Texas-based "outlaws" of country music when, in 1978, he undertook what seemed like a most unlikely project. Nelson, with his superlative band in tow, elected to record an entire album of some of the Tin Pan Alley classics with which he'd grown up. The results were phenomenal -- Stardust, produced by Booker T. Jones (of Booker T. and the MGs fame) was an instant smash, eventually going quadruple-platinum.
The outlaw movement brought a breath of fresh air to the stagnant country scene in the 70s. Johnny Cash had paved the way for it and musicians such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Tompall Glaser brought a new impetus to the genre with simple but lively arrangements, which had recently been lost in increasingly lifeless and unoriginal productions. Then, at the height of outlaw country, Nelson broke with all expectations and produced an album: with pop standards. With five platinum awards, his interpretation of Kurt Weill, Hoagy Carmichael and Irving Berlin songs was a resounding success.
This CD is part of a series of Sony Music K2 HD productions, which were produced at the instigation of the national company in Hong Kong. Sony Music in Hong Kong takes First Impression Music as a model, who succeed in selling their recordings at high prices in Hong Kong, which is notoriously infected by product piracy. That's why Hakamata Takeshi, who is also responsible for FIM productions as a mastering engineer, has had some enormously popular productions reworked by the JVC FLAIR Studio in Tokyo. The K2 HDs are made in Japan and come in a beautifully designed hardcover booklet in a protective slipcase with the K2HD logo. As with FIM, the CDs themselves are also protected in a fleece sleeve.
Attention: These CDs are actually remastered (K2 HD Mastering) and should not be confused with CDs available in Japan that have only been transcoded (K2 HD Coding).
"Stardust showcases Nelson's skills as a musician and his entire aesthetic -- where there is nothing separating classic American musical forms, it can all be played together -- perhaps better than any other album, which is why it was a sensation upon its release and grows stronger with each passing year." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
