Recorded in April 1978 at Harrah’s in Lake Tahoe, Nevada at the height of Willie madness, Willie and Family Live features guest vocalists Emmylou Harris and Johnny Paycheck on several songs. It peaked at #32 on the US Billboard 200 chart at #1 on the Top Country Albums chart.
Recorded at Lake Tahoe in 1978, WILLIE AND FAMILY LIVE effectively documents the laid-back, freewheeling approach Nelson and his band take to live performances. Unlike many country acts that strive to play the same set with the same note-for-note precision every night, Nelson’s band prefers to live on the edge, wringing surprises out of every note and beat. This “free jam” aesthetic explains why Nelson is popular among Grateful Dead fans, and aficionados of this musical approach will be most likely to enjoy WILLIE AND FAMILY LIVE.
The album, which clocks in at over ninety minutes, contains some instances of frustrating off-handedness (Nelson occasionally sings indifferently) but also many moments of full-throttle energy, including blistering versions of “Whiskey River,” “Under the Double Eagle,” and the Bob Wills classic “Stay a Little Longer,” as well as fine takes on the ballads “If You Could Touch Her At All” and “Till I Gain Control Again.” Nelson, his pianist sister Bobbie, and harmonica player Mickey Raphael are all great soloists, and each is given plenty of opportunities to stretch out and show off some hot licks.
