Will Taylor & Strings Attached

House of Wills

Will Taylor and his strings step outside their comfort zone and into what they dub the House of Wills, interpreting the songs of Willie Nelson in the style of Bob Wills. As with all of Taylor's projects, the musicianship is top-notch and the spare arrangements are superb, but whether the world needs another version of "Crazy" or "On the Road Again" not sung by Nelson is up for debate.
