Weekly - Legacy (Capitol) Review by Marc Weingarten |
January
12, 2001 - Music - Reissues - RICK NELSON
Nelson was
the Eisenhower era's Robbie Williams, a teen dream with a lot more going
for him than model good looks. But his musical legacy has been ill-served
by shoddy reissues, which makes this four-CD collection the most significant
boxed set of the year. In gathering all of Nelson's great early hits ("Believe
What You Say," "Stood Up," "Lonesome Town") with his trailblazing late
'60s country-rock sides, as well as some wonderful oddities, Legacy should
secure Nelson's place in the pantheon of great '50s rockers.
