Willie Nelson startled Columbia Records executives when he announced plans to record an album of pop standards he’d loved for decades, hoping to reintroduce those timeless songs to audiences old and new. With Memphis R&B legend Booker T. Jones producing and arranging, the result, Stardust, became a landmark, its appeal spanning generations. To everyone’s amazement, it remained on the country album charts over ten years and sold five million copies. This 30th Anniversary Legacy Edition includes not only the original, classic album but a second disc featuring highlights from Willie’s further excursions into the Great American Songbook.
