Old Time Religion (Gospel)
Like many country artists, Willie Nelson draws great inspiration from Christianity and its musical traditions. He even hit the country top 10 once with a gospel song, 1975's "Uncloudy Day." OLD TIME RELIGION, which features Willie's sister Bobbie on piano, was recorded in Austin, Texas in 1986. The rest of Nelson's touring band provide a spare, intimate background for Willie's vocals and for the siblings' instrumental work.On some tracks Willie has overdubbed some background vocals, but otherwise production on this album in minimal. The subdued, unadorned arrangements on OLD TIME RELIGION suit the material well, focusing attention on Nelson's gentle, soulful professions of faith. The set features some of the most popular titles in the Southern gospel catalogue, including "Just a Little Walk With Jesus," "Where the Soul Never Dies," "Are You Washed in the Blood," and the title track.
