Customer comments on this selection.
 Willie Nelson Forever
Moment of Forever is the most solid album by Willie Nelson in many many years. This is on par with some of Johnny Cash's late work with Rick Rubin and provides more evidence that some artists just get better with age. Nelson's voice is as good as ever and has a richness and depth that some of his more recent works haven't had. His pairing with new-country idol, Kenny Chesney seems to have breathed new life into Willie.
There isn't a bad track on the album, but my favorite, by far, is his cover of Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody". As a Dylan fanatic I must admit that Willie's version is better than Dylan's version. So soulful and heartfelt.
Willie also strikes gold with his cover of "Gravedigger". The video for this song is just flawless. Also notable are the title track, "Moment of Forever" and "I'm Alive". And Nelson is indeed Alive on this collection. Even The Bob Song, which I initially hated has grown on me and I certainly appreciate the silliness of the song.
Overall, I think this has to go down with Nelson classics like Red-Headed Stranger and Phases and Stages as his best work to date. We can only hope that Nelson continues with this momentum and keeps making such great records.
Willie at his best
Willie's voice and attention to detail have grown over the years. Great way to spend an hour listening to him and his music.
 Willie can't make a bad record!
I remember listening to "Stardust" and "Red-Headed Stranger" in high school, and while "Moment of Forever" isn't his greatest work, it still is very good. Like the man himself, "Moment" is a mixture of the sacred, like "Louisiana" and "Always Now," and profane, the "Bob Song" and "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore" - all thoroughly enjoyable.
I was touched by "When I was Young and Grandma wasn't Old," given the relationship Willie and his sister had with their grandparents. I wonder if that song, which he didn't write, has some special meaning for him. And "Gravedigger," could that become a regular part of his repetoire now that he's turned 75?
I hope Willie lives forever, or at least till he's 103, and he keeps turning out albums like this, the aural equivalent of comfort food, regularly.
Willie makes it seem effortless
Willie Nelson's music, with this most recent CD, "Moment of Forever," has such a way of touching us, making us feel our most human and most transcendent selves. That is a priceless gift. He does this with his ensemble, his guitar and his voice, making it look so very easy, while the patterns and creativity of a lifetime are behind all of it.
Willie's newest offering should not be overlooked
Willie Nelson's 2008 record 'Moment of Forever' is right up there with records like 'Stardust,' 'Phases and Stages' and 'Red Headed Stranger' as his best album.
Released on Lost Highway in January of this year, it's one of his finest efforts. He's released over 100 studio records during his long career dating back to 1954, so I'll let you do the choosing for his best record.
But anyway, the songs here are incredible. His cover of Bob Dylan's 'Gotta Serve Somebody,' the humorous 'When I Was Young And Grandma Wasn't Old,' and 'Louisiana' (which would fit perfectly on a record like 'Red Headed Stranger,' in my opinion) are songs that any Willie fan should check out.
Overall, if you want to hear one of Willie's finest efforts, check out 'Moment Of Forever.' It's his newest, but one of his best.
Highly recommended for any Willie fan. A classic from Willie. ENJOY!!!
