Nelson Sings Nelson,
A couple of years ago, I worked with a woman who was a bit of a nutcase. She made all sorts of wild claims about her past. One of her stranger claims was that she was once married ("for a short spell") to the singer Ricky Nelson, and that one of the songson his album 'Garden Party' had been written for her. Seemed like too bizarre of aclaim to be hogwash, so I started doing a bit of research. Never found any proof either way, but I did discover some wonderful 70's era Ricky Nelson music. Here are a couple of songs off of his album 'Rick sings Nelson.' They were transferred off of vinyl, so please excuse the noise. The Stone Canyon Band is backing him, with Tom Brumley on Pedal steel (also plays on 'Garden Party'). Check out 'Garden Party,' if you haven't already. It's a fantastic album, and really his only early seventies album readily available on CD. Besides, it's worth it just for Brumley's steel playing.
