WILLIE NELSON - PHASES AND STAGES

Phases and Stages is Willie Nelson’s groundbreaking concept album that tells both sides of a breakup—Side A from the woman’s perspective, Side B from the man’s. Blending country with soul and Southern groove, the album features richly emotional songwriting, all tied together by the recurring “Phases and Stages” theme. Produced by the legendary Jerry Wexler at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, this record is widely considered one of Nelson’s finest and most ambitious works.
