Willie Nelson - Across The Borderline 1993

Across the Borderline was produced in 1993 by Don Was, then flush with work following his helming of Bonnie Raitt's commercial breakthrough, Nick of Time. In fact, his celebrated clients at the time included everyone from Iggy Pop to Neil Diamond. Here he surrounds Willie Nelson with a vast cast of superstar admirers that includes Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Lyle Lovett. If the thought of Nelson and Lyle Lovett dueting on Peter Gabriel "Don't Give Up" with Mark Isham blowing dulcet trumpet lines above it all gives you the willies, surprisingly, it shouldn't. In fact, it's a highlight of this very successful all-star album. Nelson, coming off a dry spell, sounds invigorated, the material is strong, and the musicianship sparkles.

reviews:

Rolling Stone (5/13/93, p.110) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...an album that seasons the singer's own brand of austere, hard-chugging country swing with echoes of everything from English art rock to Paul Simon's South African- flavored folk rock..."

Spin (7/93, p.16) - "...In the blessed hands and throat of Nelson, the most pompous, didactic, overwraught hooey can feel as comfy and tender as a well-oiled baseball glove..."

Entertainment Weekly (12/31/93) - Cited by Entertainment Weekly as one of 'The Best Country Albums Of 1993' - "...as clear-eyed a portrait of America as anything from John Dos Passos...."

Q (1/94, p.86) - Included in Q's list of 'The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...The old outlaw is back in the saddle again...."

Q (6/93, p.104) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this album establishes a new benchmark in country celebrity roundups, so star-studded as to almost defy belief...covers considerable ground...brings full circle the finest traditions of two very different generations of Nashville songsmiths..."

Village Voice (3/1/94, p.5) - Ranked 22 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
