If Shotgun Willie played a bit like a concept album, Phases and Stages was a full-blown one, tracing the dissolution of a marriage and devoting one side to the wife's perspective, the second to the husband's... Phases and Stages is easily the equal of it's remarkable predecessor, a wonderful set of music that resonates deeply, as deeply as the words. Make no mistake - the deceptively relaxed arrangements, including the occasional strings, not only highlight Nelson's clever eclecticism, but they also heighten the emotional impact of the album. And this is a hell of an emotional record, where even each side's celebratory honky tonk numbers (the medley \"Sister's Coming Home\/Down at the Corner Beer Joint\" and \"Pick Up the Tempo,\" respectively) are muted by sadness. Then, there are the centerpieces: \"Walkin',\" where the woman decides it's time to move on; \"Pretend I Never Happened,\" perhaps the coldest ending to a relationship ever written; \"Bloody Mary Morning,\" a bleary-eyed morning-after tale that became a standard; \"It's Not Supposed to Be That Way,\" a nearly unbearably melancholy account of a love gone wrong; and \"Heaven and Hell,\" a waltz summary of the relationship. Any two of these would have formed a strong core for an album, but placed together in a narrative context, their impact is even more considerable. As a result, this is not just one of Willie Nelson's best records, but one of the great concept albums overall. 140g black vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFORMAT: \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eVinyl LP\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDISC SIZE: \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003e12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCONDITION: \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eBrand New\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eGENRE: \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eCountry\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eUPC:\u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003e 603497827176\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLABEL: \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eAtlantic\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eNO.
