Description:
This box contains a wealth of American music, plus a couple of jewels--Django Reinhardt`s "Nuages" and Jimmy Cliff`s "The Harder They Come"--from beyond these shores. Here are 100 songs commemorating Willie Nelson`s incredible journey by going full circle. "When I`ve Sang My Last Hillbilly Song," leading off Disc One, was recorded in 1954 or `55; it is reprised on Disc Four`s final track, updated in 2007. Between those years Nelson, a Depression era kid who grew up dirt poor in Abbott, Texas, became one of the world`s most recognizable figures, in the music/entertainment business or otherwise. One Hell Of A Ride is, quite simply, the most all-encompassing Nelson retrospective ever assembled. (Sony)
