{"product_id":"willie-nelson-and-then-i-wrote-yellow","title":"Willie Nelson - ...And Then I Wrote [Yellow]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore he became an outlaw icon, Willie Nelson was Nashville's secret weapon, and ...And Then I Wrote, his 1962 debut album, shows exactly why. This edition is pressed on yellow vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1960s, other singers were already scoring big with his songs, and Liberty Records gave the young writer a chance to sing them himself. The results are fascinating, his slightly behind-the-beat phrasing and conversational delivery already unmistakable, even when wrapped in the polished Nashville production of the era. It is the sound of a songwriter stepping out from behind the curtain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrazy, made famous by Patsy Cline, sounds even more lonesome in his own hands, stripped of grandeur and full of quiet ache. Hello Walls, a hit for Faron Young, gets a wry, almost conversational reading, while Funny How Time Slips Away and Touch Me reveal the plainspoken heartbreak that made his writing so durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat stands out most is how modern his instincts already were, favoring understatement and space over showy vocal tricks, a style that would later define his entire career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans who know Willie from Red Headed Stranger onward, this debut is a revelation, and the yellow pressing makes it a bright spot on any country shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67757927006498,"sku":"602557588484","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Willie_Nelson-...And_Then_I_Wrote_Yellow.jpg?v=1794293935","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/willie-nelson-and-then-i-wrote-yellow","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
