Amongst the nearly 150 albums that Willie has released to date, he has a number of amazing full-album tributes to songwriters, from Kris Kristofferson and George Gershwin to Ray Price and Cindy Walker. Adding to that list is this album, dedicated to country songwriting legend Harlen Howard who has scores of country hits including a number that crossed over to pop and even R&B charts. A member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame, Howard wrote hits for Ray Charles, Buck Owens, Conway Twitty, Bobby Bare, Brenda Lee and so many more. The album was produced by longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon and features a murderers' row of crack Nashville musicians.
