About One Hell of a Ride: For the first time, in honor of his big seven-five, the appropriately titled box set ONE HELL OF A RIDE draws together the entire span of Willie’s recording career, with tracks representing a dozen different record labels. To underscore the scope of this unprecedented project, the box set opens with Willie’s first single recording under his own name, “When I’ve Sang My Last Hillbilly Song” (cut in 1954 or “55 for a small Texas label, but not released by the owner for another two decades) ” and closes with a brand new version of the song recorded by Willie in 2007.
The largest U.S. box set compendium of his work to date weighs in with 100 of Willie’s personal favorite tracks ”” and a magnificent 100-page full-color book with dozens of never-before seen photographs, and full discographical information. Liner notes include an introduction by long-time harmonica player Mickey Raphael and an 8,000-word liner notes essay by Texas musician and music journalist Joe Nick Patoski (author of the upcoming biography Willie Nelson: An Epic Life, Little, Brown & Co., April 2008).
