Info zu Ride Me Back Home

Anfang des Jahres gewann »Outlaw«-Legende Willie Nelson mit »My Way«, seiner Frank Sinatra-Hommage, seinen 13. Grammy in der Kategorie »Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album«. Nun meldet er sich mit seinem neuen Studioalbum »Ride Me Back Home« zurück.

Der amerikanische Musik-Journalist Mikal Gilmore fand die passenden Worte für die neue Platte: Für ihn sei »Ride Me Back Home« der gelungene Abschluss einer Trilogie über die Sterblichkeit. Beginnend mit »God's Problem Child« und über »Last Man Standing« bringt »Ride Me Back Home« eine neue Komponente der Thematik ins Spiel: Empathie. Das Album ist dabei eine Reise voller Leben und Liebe aus dem weisen Blickwinkel Willies, der jeden Moment, jede Erfahrung wertschätzt und es deshalb genießt, jeden der Songs zu singen.

»Ride Me Back Home« ist die 13. Platte, die Buddy Cannon für Nelson produzierte und enthält drei Songs (»Come On Time«, »Seven Year Itch« und »One More Song To Write«), die sie gemeinsam schrieben. Neben neuen Kompositionen und dem Titeltrack zollt Willie Nelson verschiedenen Country- und Popmusikern Tribut, unter anderem Billy Joel, Mac Davis und Guy Clark. Seine gefühlvolle Interpretation des Buzz-Rabin-Country-Klassikers »Maybe I Should Have Been Listening« rundet das Album schließlich ab. Rezensionen

"Das 13. Album (...) schließt eine bedeutsame Trilogie im Werk des 84-jährigen Outlaws ab. (...) Jeder Song unterstreicht Willies Bereitschaft und Fähigkeit, sich in die Einstellung anderer Menschen einzufühlen. (...) Grandios!" (Audio)

Willie Nelson
With a six-decade career and a catalog of more than 200 albums to his credit, the iconic Texas singer-songwriter Willie Nelsonhas earned a permanent position in pop music’s pantheon with songs combining the sophistication of Tin Pan Alley with the rough-and-tumble grit and emotional honesty of country music. He brought pop and country together on the radio in the early 1960s with unforgettable songs like “Crazy” (Patsy Cline), “Hello Walls” (Faron Young), “Funny How Time Slips Away” (Billy Walker), “Night Life” (Ray Price) and others and, by the mid-1970s, had become a superstar in his own right as a prime mover of a revolutionary and thriving outlaw country music scene. The Red Headed Stranger, Willie’s first album for Columbia Records in 1975, catapulted the artist to the front ranks of popularity, making his a name familiar in country and city households across America and around-the-world.

A seven-time Grammy Award winner, Willie Nelson has received numerous accolades including American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards and others. He is a co-founder of Farm Aid, an annual series of fundraising events which began as an all-star benefit concert in 1985 to raise money for American family farmers. He continues to lobby against horse slaughter and produces his own blend of biodiesel fuel. An old-school road-dog troubadour with new school wheels, Willie plays concerts year-round, tirelessly touring on Honeysuckle Rose III (he rode his first two buses into the ground), taking his music and fans to places that are always worth the ride.

The very first musician to perform on the premiere episode of Austin City Limits in 1974, Willie Nelson was inducted into the inaugural class of the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame by fellow Texan Matthew McConaughey on Saturday, April 26, 2014. “There would be no Austin City Limits without Willie Nelson,” McConaughey told the audience assembled at the University of Texas at Austin, the original home of what is now America’s longest-running televised music program.

Willie Nelson, who turned 81 on April 29/April 30, is an American original, a sublime singer, master tunesmith and outlaw country’s most enduring archetype.
