The Border [Orange Vinyl] [Barnes & Noble Exclusive]

Technically, The Border is the sequel to A Beautiful Time, the 2022 album that found Willie Nelson once again ruminating upon a road long traveled. Nelson's latter-day albums with producer Buddy Cannon often concerned mortality, a quality that lends a natural gravity. That trait isn't quite absent on The Border -- Willie's 75th album, appearing after a pair of winning covers records released in the wake of A Beautiful Time -- yet it is subdued. When Nelson ponders "Once Upon a Yesterday," he's thinking of old songs and departed friends, more grateful that it happened than sad that those days are gone
