Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable or in the CD player. Today’s Single Of The Day is one of eighty-three Country 40 appearances for the legendary Willie Nelson. ”Good Times” actually charted twice, the first time in 1968, but fell short of the Country 40. The second time, it fared better, climbing as high as twenty-five in August, 1981.
When Willie Nelson became hot property, following “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain”, RCA Records began reissuing his works, trying to take advantage of his success. And it worked, as between 1975 and 1981, ten singles from Willie’s RCA years were charting alongside his Columbia releases.
“Good Times”, in my opinion, was one of Willie’s more underrated singles, a ballad telling a life story that is looked back on, fondly.
Your thoughts?
Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
