"Here's Willie Nelson" is the second studio album by country singer Willie Nelson. After his debut album "And Then I Wrote" was received favorably, Nelson continued his success with this follow-up album. Released in 1963 by Liberty Records, it consists of previously released songs including "Touch Me" and "A New Way To Cry," which became popular and are still beloved by fans.
Despite being at the beginning of his career, Nelson's songwriting prowess is clearly demonstrated within this album. His precise songwriting, combined with his smooth vocal delivery, make this album an engaging listen. Nelson’s unique approach to writing and performing helped to cement his place as a driving force in the outlaw country music movement.
However, the album did not manage a place in the music charts, reflecting Nelson's yet undervalued popularity in the music market. The rights to the album are now owned by Capitol Records, which presently also owns the Liberty catalog.
Overall, "Here's Willie Nelson" serves as a clear representation of Nelson in his early career, showcasing his nascent songwriting skills and distinctive musical style that would later distinguish him as one of the heavyweights in country music.
