Curb
's
Classics by Willie Nelson
is a 14-song hodgepodge mixing previously released material with low-fidelity demo-quality tracks.
Nelson
's pre-
outlaw
incarnation is explored on
"Three Days,"
"Crazy,"
"I Gotta Get Drunk,"
and
"Half a Man,"
along with two duets featuring
Patsy Cline
,
"Just Out of Reach"
"Just a Closer Walk with Thee."
The only post-
Columbia

"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"
and an excellent rendition of
"Heartbreak Hotel,"
with
Leon Russell
