here are 100 songs commemorating willie nelson's incredible journey by going full circle. 'when i've sang my last hillbilly song,' leading off disc one, was recorded in 1954 or '55; it is reprised on disc four's final track, updated in 2007. between those years nelson, a depression era kid who grew up dirt poor in abbott, texas, became one of the world's most recognizable figures, in the music / entertainment business or otherwise. 'one hell of a ride' is, quite simply, the most all-encompassing nelson retrospective ever assembled. in addition to all of its glorious music, this package afeatures incisive words in an essay by nelson's biographer, joe nick patoski, whose 'willie nelson : an epic life' was published this year. there's also a brief reminiscence by mickey raphael, nelson's longtime harmonica player, that is funny and affecting. finally, there is the man himself, who on april 30, 2008 turned 75. the songs herein, many of them touchstones, some lesser known gems, reflect the musical sense and sensibility of an artist for all ages, and for the ages.
