Witness Nelson’s unique approach to the show-stopping R&B ballads Do Right Woman, Do Right Man. With understated, almost-invisible production by Chips Moman, the album focuses on pop and soul ballads from the post-rock ‘n’ roll era. You'd almost think this was a bootleg recording made by someone in the audience, except that the instruments have more presence than they would if it had been. In 1982 Willie Nelson opened a new chapter in his career as a master interpreter with Always On My Mind. Unfortunately, it sounds as if the vocals were recorded off the PA at the venue, since there is a constant short echo that gives the impression of two Nelsons: one singing just behind the other. Nelson reprises many of the hits he scored with covers of country and pop standards, along with his own compositions starting in the 1970s, and even does a medley of his early songwriting hits like 'Funny How Time Slips Away,' 'Crazy,' and 'Night Life.' The performance is loose and ramshackle, typical of Nelson's long-standing band, who take their cues from their unpredictable front man, (Nelson's singing and acoustic guitar playing conform to his own sense of time). This Willie Nelson live album, Always on My Mind: The Best of Willie Nelson in Concert, released by British budget label Prism Leisure, contains no information to indicate the origin of the recording other than the legend 'Licensed from Plan B Audio Media Ltd.' It sounds like a typical show by Nelson and his band that could have occurred any time from the mid-'80s up to its release date.
