Last Leaf On The Tree (CD)
Willie Nelson
Amoeba Review
The legendary Willie Nelson is back with his second album of 2024, the stirring Last Leaf on the Tree. The album is a thing of autumnal beauty, an exercise in facing the future with dignity, grace, and love — so its name, borrowed from an excellent and entrancing Tom Waits cover found on the album, fits perfectly. Willie lends his voice to both originals and covers of tracks by Beck, Nina Simone, Neil Young, The Flaming Lips, and more — it's no surprise these covers rank among the most intriguing reinterpretations in recent memory. Last Leaf on the Tree goes places few albums do and reminds us why Willie Nelson has been beloved and revered for decades.
