4 out of 5 stars Not for first-timers........2002-08-24

Sinatra's favorite composer--for both torch songs and swingers--the mightily underrated Van Heusen can't be represented properly by a collection that omits "Here's That Rainy Day." Like an Irving Berlin collection without "White Christmas"!

As of the year 2000, Moonlight Becomes You is the bestselling album in the catalog of Justice Records, the Houston-based former independent now partnering with Buddha, and a low-key gem in Nelson's vast archive of recordings. Originally released in 1993, Moonlight features much of the same cast who contributed to Nelson's 1981 classic standards album, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, including coproducer-mandola player Paul Buskirk, fiddler Johnny Gimble, rhythm guitarist Freddie Powers, and bassist Dean Reynolds. The idea was to play popular standards--the title track, "Sentimental Journey," "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise," "You Always Hurt the One You Love"--in an intimate acoustic-swing style. The concept works splendidly, of course, thanks to Nelson's seemingly effortless vocals and the consistently high quality of the accompaniment. Nelson bookends the album with a pair of his own exquisite compositions, "December Day" and "In God's Eyes." --Rick Mitchell

4 out of 5 stars These songs are classics, they're evergreens, they're standards and they will never die........2007-04-30

This album by Willie Nelson was released in 1993. It is, for the most part, a collection for pop standards. But Willie did manage to sneak in a few non-standards, like his own compositions "December Day" and "In God's Eyes", and his friend Paul Buskirk's song "You Just Can't Play a Sad Song on a Banjo". But it's his album, so he can do whatever he wants, right? The songs are played in a pleasant country/jazz style that fits well with Willie's vocal stylings. Willie's fans should enjoy it.

4 out of 5 stars Great disc, bad disc.......2001-02-04

As a latecomer to the millions who appreciate Willie Nelson's music, I was dazzled by this collection of standards. In fact, I was so dazzled I bought it three times. Not because I wanted it wherever I went -- at home, in my car and on my person -- but because all three of the discs, on the Justice label, proved defective. After replacing the first two discs with new copies, I gave up and exchanged the third for Nelson's "Spirit" CD, which is interesting but not nearly as riveting for me. I wonder if anybody else has had this problem. I played all the of my "Moonlight Becomes You" discs on different CD players and they all turned bad, after as few as a half-dozen playings to as many as two dozen. Generally, I have found, Nelson puts out music worth listening to. Too bad the hardware in this case doesn't measure up -- or is this a problem limited to CD stores in Roanoke, VA?

The music and songs in this album are terrific but Willie's voice is not. He really struggles to reach and hold notes. I have been a fan for years and have most of what he has recorded. Something is amiss with this recording. I hope that whatever happened here is only temporary.

5 out of 5 stars Moonlight Becomes You.......2000-10-10

What a great CD. How nice it is to hear music that my parents and grandparents used to listen to. It brought back so mamy memories of listening with my parents and watching them dance to this kind of music. A beautiful CD of old standards done in a way that only Willie Nelson can do!!!

4 out of 5 stars Standards - The Nelson Way.......2000-06-21

This is a re-release of an original 1993 Willie Nelson album which features yet another beautiful collection of standards, done in that most unique Willie Nelson way.

But unlike earlier Willie Nelson releases on which he concentrated on interpreting classic tunes (like his 1978 Stardust or his 1994 Healing Hands albums), this 15-track CD is a very laid-back affair with sparse instrumentation; basically just guitars, a little piano, a subdued bass & some gentle drums. Don't go looking for strings or grandiose arrangements here.

Being simple is what makes this album so great! For me, this is among the top-five albums by Willie Nelson. Four stars only because I think that the song choices are somewhat uneven.

          5 out of 5 stars The Brooding, Moody Music Of The Great Chet Baker!.......2003-10-13

          Chet Baker was a brilliant musician who had no equal at creating a mellow, brooding mood. Simplicity of elements and unpretentious improvisation are his hallmarks. The music in this compilation is from 1952 and 1953 with Gerry Mulligan, baritone, Russ Freeman, piano, Stan Getz, tenor sax, Shelly Mann, drums, and Chet Baker, trumpet. It is probable that the performances recorded here were never surpassed by Baker. He was at his peak during this period and was voted the country's best jazz trumpeter of 1954 by both Downbeat and Metronome Magazine.

          The 14 tracks were all recorded in Los Angeles and include:
          "Freeway," "My Old Flame," "Five Brothers," and "My Funny Valentine." Baker and Stan Getz are also featured in "Come Out Wherever You Are," "What's New," and "Half Nelson." Also included are "All The Things You Are," "Moonlight Becomes You," and "Happy Little Sunbeam."

          A brilliant album and the Best of Baker!!
