Album Review: Various Artists - One Night In Texas: The Next Waltz’s Tribute to The Red Headed Stranger

Things like this rarely work out. But when a bunch of musical friends and fans got together May 1, 2022, to tip their red bandanas to Willie Nelson, things went splendidly.

Thankfully, tape was rolling. And One Night In Texas: The Next Waltz’s Tribute to The Red Headed Stranger may be the one various-artists’ album that belongs in every record collection.

With Bruce Robison’s house band channeling Nelson’s Family Band and artists including Vincent Neil Emerson (“Bloody Mary Morning”), Robert Earl Keen (“Pick up the Tempo”), Shinyribs (“I Gotta Get Drunk”) and Steve Earle (“Pancho and Lefty”) doing their interpretations, One Night in Texas is a gem.

To make it extra-authentic, Emily Gimble plays the role of Bobbie Nelson on the “Little Sister” showcase “Down Yonder.”

While there are no dogs in this kennel, some performances dominate. Trusted with “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” and “Crazy,” Nathaniel Rateliff earns the respect. Margo Price owns her sinewy rendition of “Shotgun Willie;” Ray Wylie Hubbard delivers an intoxicating “Whiskey River;” and Sheryl Crow lives “Night Life” to its fullest.
