The Great Divide - 6865

Amazon.com Though Willie Nelson has previously demonstrated that he can sing just about anything with just about anyone, The Great Divide shows there are some bridges even he shouldn't cross. An incongruous array of duet partners join Nelson on this attempt to attract a younger and wider demographic. The project follows the formula that paid such commercial dividends for Carlos Santana, down to the collaboration with matchbox twenty's Rob Thomas on the opening "Maria." Nelson proceeds to engage Kid Rock in a transgenerational gunslingers' duel on "Last Stand in Open Country," reaches a more comfortable accommodation with neo-soulster Brian McKnight on "Don't Fade Away," and meditates on the aging process with three melancholy ballads ("This Face," "Recollecting Phoenix," and "You Remain") that are likely to confound the pop-rock crowd the project seems so intent on converting. The rest of the material ranges from Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" to the psychedelic chestnut "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"--already revived by Nelson on 2001's Rainbow Connection. Only the Gypsy-tinged title song rings as true as one typically expects from Willie. --Don McLeese Product description Title: The Great Divide Label: Lost Highway Format: CD Country: US Released: 2002 Genre: Folk, World, & Country Style: Country Rock 1 Maria (Shut Up And Kiss Me) 4:20 2 Mendocino County Line 4:32 3 Last Stand In Open Country 4:45 4 Won't Catch Me Cryin' 4:07 5 Be There For You 4:34 6 The Great Divide 4:06 7 Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) 3:32 8 This Face 4:24 9 Don't Fade Away 4:18 10 Time After Time 4:04 11 Recollection Phoenix 4:53 12 You Remain 5:54 Packaged in a 6 panel Digipak-style package.
