Kenny Chesney has a lot of talent and catchy songs. He’s smart with marketing the whole beach image too!

I don’t think anybody would argue that Willie Nelson is more talented than themselves.

I think Willie knows he’s not going to have the commercial success he used to, so why not do something fun.

What in the world is Kenny Chesney doing trying to produce a record for Willie Nelson? He can’t “produce” himself. Who signed off on this project? Chesney is a moderate-at-best talent who caught the Lucky Train years ago and worked so hard he beat Country fans into submission; convincing them he is a major talent and “star”. But Willie is more talented, important and artistic than Chesney could ever hope to be in his wildest dreams. Letting a pretender work with a legend is not the best idea in the world. So if the record is not great, should we be surprised?

[...] not the case. I probably couldn’t review it any better than the fine folks over at the9513, they seem to hit every point pretty well — even from the opening track, which as they even [...]

I love Willie. I don’t love Kenny. I love the album, but not in a critical way… I just love Willie too much to not love it. I understand with a few of your sentiments here and there, but overall… it’s still Willie and Trigger and it’s powerful. My favorite track is the Kristofferson cut, the title track. I can’t listen to it without welling up inside. Willie is great at taking chances, and although this may not have been a favorite of yours, I love that he did it. Happy Almost 75th, Willie!

[...] Willie Nelson – Moment Of Forever The lastest Wille Nelson album, Moment of Forever, was produced by Nashville superstar Kenny Chesney and by the first track Chesney is attempting to play the part of Daniel Lanois, acclaimed U2 producer, who produced Willie’s 1998 album Teatro. The final story on Willie’s latest is twofold. First, Kenny Chesney has bad taste. From “The Bob Song” to the incredibly lame Walt Disney outros on many of the tunes, to the decision to leave “I’m Alive” the starkest musically, to the decision to muddle the opening track and “Always Now” with silly musical additions to make them seem “cool,” Kenny is flying the poor taste flag and shows why he shouldn’t make a habit of producing other artists. The second story is that this was an overall disappointing album. What might have made up many of the good moments were tarnished by production, and the bad moments were many and close together. Should you buy the record? Eh, if you have a few bucks to spare and want to hear a few good new Willie songs sure, but don’t expect greatness. — Ben Cisneros [...]

Bought the album this weekend, I agree with the review for the most part, most of the songs are good to very good, with “The Bob Song” being the only really awful track.

I haven’t heard this album yet, but reading the comments reminded me of something Willie himself once said (I’m paraphrasing): “If you don’t like my new album, don’t worry about it. I’ll have another one out in two months.”

OH MY GOD! YOU JUST KILLED KENNY…

Way to go Ben, you are my new hero! Someone who stands up to the almighty quesny machine!

I just wonder if he tried to make a pass to Willie in the control room. Show him his small pirate hook…
