Four Great Singer Songwriters, However Not Entirely Great Results.,

Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson, all top Country Music stars in their own right combined in this collection with material which are 10 songs from both 1985 and 1990.
From 1985 Highwayman has strong, interesting vocals on a Jimmy Webb song, and both Big River and Committed To Parkview are new takes on Johnny Cash songs.
Welfare Line is a sad tale of proud people from all walks of life who have landed on skid row and Bob Seger's classic Against The Wind is a good cover.
From 1990 well America Remains is similar to Highwayman and Texas is a love song to that state from Willie Nelson.
However the overall tone is not dynamic enough to get the pulse racing, being a little plodding in places, so only 3 stars.

What a great combination of voices and talent. You can tell they had fun recording these albums. If you like the Outlaws, you will enjoy this one.

Great time trip. Many songs and the artists are no longer with us and this helps keep their spirits alive. Could not be happier with this album.
