Review

Uncut (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he universal themes of tough love, outlaw tales and spiritual devotion seem drawn across parallel lines....It's remarkably good."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[A]n affable affair, with Willie providing his nasal, agreeable, home-on-the-strange vocals while steel guitar and violins merge with reggae riddims to the rear."

Title Note

Willie Nelson and reggae might seem at first to be an unlikely match.

Upon further thought, though, Nelson's laid-back sensibility, subtle

rhythmic lilt, and stoner image make his reggae album, COUNTRYMAN, seem in retrospect like an inevitability. Instead of adding his distinctive jazzy drawl and ragged guitar to a batch of reggae classics, though, Willie mostly keeps it country amid the Kingston grooves, delivering many of his own songs, as well a couple by Johnny Cash and reggae giant Jimmy Cliff.

Produced by Don Was, these tracks mostly feature L.A. session musicians doing a credible approximation of early-'70s Cliff/Toots & the

Maytals-style roots reggae, while Willie remains unflappable atop the

rhythmic change-up of the arrangements. These sessions actually sat in the can for about eight years before finally seeing the light of day, but anyone who ever wondered what bleak, ruminative Nelson chestnuts

such as "Darkness on the Face of the Earth" and "I've Just Destroyed

the World" would sound like with the added emotional contrast of a

bouncy reggae beat were finally sated with COUNTRYMAN's 2005 release.
