In 1970, Willie Nelson was still a couple of years from being the Willie Nelson of popular imagination, the guy with the bandana and the joint, making outlaw country records that scared the suits. His 10th studio album—being reissued here for the first time ever on vinyl—is when the facade of the clean-cut '60s version of Nelson started to break, when the clean shaved face and the clean sounds of RCA started to wear on the singer, who was performing to raucous nightclub audiences that didn't like his records for being buttoned up. Boasting a mix of covers and originals, and the start of Nelson's outlaw phase, 'Both Sides Now' is a rarity in the Nelson canon, an underrated piece that is important in telling the full arc of his recorded career. It belongs on the shelves of every Nelson fan, and now, thanks to this reissue, that's possible.
