Johnny Paycheck started out as a guitarist for Porter Wagoner, George Jones and Ray Price. In the 1960's Paycheck went solo and had his first chart success with "A-11" and "Heartbreak Tennessee". He was one of the founders of Little Darlin' Records at this time, and despite his hits for the label, by the end of the 1960's the label went under and Johnny began drinking heavily.
In 1971 he hit the charts with "She's Got It All" then followed up with the songs "Something To Give My Love To", "Love Is A Good Thing" and "Song And Dance Man". In 1976 he went bankrupt. He came back with the hits "I'm The Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised" and the song which became his trademark "Take This Job And Shove It". Paycheck's was sentenced to a 19 year jail term for aggravated assault in 1988.
We are very proud to be able to bring you these rare Johnny Paycheck recordings from the 1970's. These are collector's recordings that we know you will treasure for many years to come.

Over the past few decades Willie Nelson has become the best loved singer-songwriter in America. He has received the Life Achievement Award from his peers in the music industry, a great honor considering that this has only been awarded to a very select few.
Willie sings of life and love, joy and pain, history and modern times in a way that no one can equal. Some of his more notable projects have included the albums "Phases and Stages" which chronicles the life of a love affair, "Red Headed Stranger", a saga of the west no less exciting than the great western films, and "Stardust", Willie's brilliant tribute to the great songs of the 1930s and 1940s.
This collection contains all Willie Nelson originals written and performed by Willie. These songs were recorded by Willie in Texas over a period of several years in the mid to late 1960s and have not been previously available. They represent some of the finest performances and writing, and we feel privileged to be able to bring you these very special recordings. This collection is a must for every fan of this legendary artist.
Relax and enjoy the unique talents of the one and only Willie Nelson!
SRI Records is proud to bring you - WILLIE NELSON - "Slow Down Old World".
