Willie Nelson and Leon Russell team up for this interesting album. For sure the "flavour" is country and many of the songs are covers/standards. Its interesting to hear them both together, sharing the vocals and guitar. Quite different from those heady days in the 1970's when Leon was playing with Joe Cocker (Mad Dogs And Englishmen tour) and he wrote that classic song Delta Lady which Joe Cocker performed. Some tracks lean towards a bluesy feel but most are definitely in the country vain.

CBS Records
Cat# S2BP 220215
1979
Australian release
Gatefold cover is in good condition, no tears, no writing, and the edges have light - medium wear from handling. Partial vinyl ring showing front and back, also the front has a small area of graphic damage (where it says AND) and on the back is a large blank white label - no attempt has been made to remove this station label. Inside the gatefold is full of great colour photographs, this area is in very good condition.
New plastic inner sleeve
Both vinyl are in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of light scratches/scuffs on each record, each side. I then played the entire two record album - there are no significant issues with surface noise or clicks/pops on any track.
