Nite Life: Greatest Hits and Rare Tracks collects material
Willie Nelson wrote and recorded while he was trying to launch a career as a professional songwriter during the '60s. At this time, he also made two albums and several singles for
Liberty, and many recordings for
RCA. These songs, including some rarities, are compiled for this flawless single-disc collection.
Nite Life runs through all of the songs other performers had hits with and made
standards, including the title track,
"Crazy," "Funny How Time Slips Away," and
"Hello Walls." Not only does it have the songs that established
Nelson's reputation, the disc shows that even early in his career he was creating an eclectic, far-reaching music that never stayed within the boundaries of
traditional country.
