-=Review=- by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

One for the Road, Willie Nelson's duet record with fellow American music maverick Leon Russell, followed months after his freewheeling, jam-heavy double album Willie and Family Live. This record (once a double LP, now a single CD) wasn't recorded live and the songs run a little shorter, but it shares the same sort of loose spirit and easy-rolling eclecticism as the two, essentially backed by the Family, run through a mess of country and pop standards. The latter makes up for the second half and its appropriately a little more subdued feel, but it's earthier than Stardust and it makes a good companion for the irresistible first half, which is often cheerfully rowdy (particularly on the dynamite opening triptych of "Detour," "I Saw the Light," and "Heartbreak Hotel") and convincingly bluesy on the ballads and mid-tempo groovers like the excellent "Trouble in Mind." Both Nelson and Russell are known as sharp interpreters of other people's material, and teamed together, they might not reinvent these songs (though they come close on "Heartbreak Hotel"), but they infuse a lot of sound and spirit into these songs. It's a little bit too laid-back and easy to qualify as a no-holds-barred classic (particularly on the second half), but that mellow charm is precisely why it's a small, priceless gem for any serious fan of either singer.

:: Release Notes:
::
::  Original Release Date 1979
::
::
::  If you like Willie doing "traditional" country; it's perfect
::  for that also. If you like Willie turning a song inside out
::  and making you love it; you got it -- it's all here.
::
::
::  Despite equal billing, this is really a Willie Nelson album
::  with Leon as his special guest. The songs are mostly, if not
::  exclusively, covers of old songs. Many are from the Great
::  American Songbook, but there are others including Heartbreak
::  Hotel (Elvis Presley), Danny Boy (a traditional Irish folk
::  song), I saw the light (Hank Williams) and Wild side of life
::  (Hank Thompson).
::
::  In typical Willie Nelson style, many of these songs are done
::  in a more laid-back style - this is particularly noticeable
::  on Don't fence me in (the Cole Porter song that was a huge
::  success for Bing Crosby and the Andrews sisters) and
::  Heartbreak hotel. Whether you enjoy these versions will
::  depend on your personal taste. I enjoy them as a contrast to
::  the originals, but the originals are still the best.
::
::  Willie and Leon are more in keeping with the originals on
::  ballads such as Always (the Irving Berlin classic) and Far
::  away places (one of my favorite Margaret Whiting songs).
::
