When Willie Nelson took the unexpected step of releasing Stardust in 1978, many predicted that the album of popular standards would severely derail the outlaw country singer's career. Confounding the critics, the disc became Nelson's best-selling effort, and spawned a whole subgenre of modern singers covering the classics. Nelson revisited the format with 1994's orchestral Healing Hands of Time and to varying degrees on several other records, but it wasn't until 2009's American Classic that the red-headed stranger delivered an album billed as the true follow-up to Stardust. Released on the venerable Blue Note label, the disc features guest appearances by superstar jazz singers Norah Jones and Diana Krall, but the focus is always placed squarely on Nelson's famously idiosyncratic vocals. American Classic does not feature Nelson's veteran band, but rather a core group of first-call studio jazz cats including Christian McBride on bass, Joe Sample on piano, and Lewis Nash on drums. The resultant sound is smooth, classy, and subtle -- a sonic horse of a different color from the exquisitely ramshackle earthiness that made Stardust so appealing and unusual. On tunes such as the jaunty, gently swinging "On the Street Where You Live" and "Since I Fell for You," which features longtime Nelson cohort Mickey Raphael on bluesy harmonica, Nelson sounds comfortable and in command, gliding effortlessly and soulfully over a great set of tunes played by top-notch pros. ~ Pemberton Roach

商品の紹介

Pitchfork - "12 timeless melodies that bridge the gap between Nelson's love for Django Reinhardt and Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys." Record Collector - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Nelson wrings pathos out of 'Come Rain or Come Shine' and plays the dirty old man to perfection in 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'..." Billboard - "[T]he real treat is a jazzy revision of 'Always on My Mind' -- it's never sounded more heartbreaking than it does here." Record Collector - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a laid back pleasure to hear him slip into such familiar songs like a steady hand into a well-work favourite glove." Down Beat - 3 stars out of 5 -- "There's a plush vibe at work here, and making those vocal idiosyncrasies fit, Nelson's heartfelt croak creates a nice tension against the rich instrumentation." JazzTimes - "Nelson best flies solo, whether merrily gliding through 'Fly Me to the Moon' or descending to the gloomily reflective depths of 'Angel Eyes'..." Dirty Linen - "Nelson nails his best crooning in years. The arrangements are sleek and sophisticated, sprinkling in lots of ivory tinkles, soft B-3 organ squelches, and impeccable jazz guitar riffs..."

説明不要の大御所カントリー・シンガーが、ブルー・ノートに移籍してスタンダード集をリリース。シンプルなアコースティック・サウンドと甘美なストリングスが、心の芯まで温めてくれるような滋味深いウィリーの歌声を引き立てていて、素晴らしいヴォーカル・アルバムに仕上がっている。ゲストのダイアナ・クラールやノラ・ジョーンズも、懐深い主役の歌唱に抱かれるようにゆったりリラックスした印象だ。

共演作も含めてこの2年足らずで4枚ものアルバムを届けてくれるだなんて。精力的なのにもほどがある。ブルーノートからの本作は31年前の名盤『Stardust』のコンセプトを再現したもので、ジャズ・スタンダードを用いて歌手としての技量を試してみせた作品である。渋いとかいう賛辞、この人の前じゃあまり意味を成さないが、実際そんな溜め息しか出ない名唱が次々に。ダイアナ・クラール、ノラ・ジョーンズが彩りを添えるロマンティックなシーンも登場。そしてジョニー・マンデルのオーケストラ・アレンジも煌びやかで最高だ。
