Description:
"Written over ten weeks of isolation painting a house in rural Texas, the subject matters are clearly personal and introspective. He contemplates shifting ideas of utopia ("Perfect String"), self-image ("Bad Man"), and faith ("Humility") with earthy wit and a poet`s eye. "If You Name A Thing It Dies" is at once simple and complicated, a lesson in Zen semantics and discovery. "That song is in halves," says Nelson in his album notes. "I state two completely opposite statements, and I believe them both to be true." The album also bears the stamp of longtime Nelson collaborator, guitarist and producer "Scrappy" Jud Newcomb." -- Nick Zaino, optimisticcurmudgeon.blogspot.com (Freedom) Purchase it digitally from iTunes and download immediately
