i'm usually not into collections, i prefer to pick out my own favourites from an artist's body of work. but this album is unimpeachable in it's "greatness," as it not only collects nuggets from the past(help me make it through the night, uncloudy day,) but also includes brilliant turns from his last couple outings(always on my mind, angel flying too close to the ground.) willy was at his soulful, earnest best at this time, having just starred in/soundtracked the moderate hit cowboy-artist flick "honeysuckle rose." i always appreciated the outlaw's ability to engender many different genres, while still retaining that authentic country feeling.
