GOD'S PROBLEM CHILD | WILLIE NELSON

5.3.17 Not only is this a great new Willie Nelson record, it easily stands with his best work. Yes, this nations favorite grandpa at 84 can make such a rich introspective very relevant piece. I am reminded of the albums that Johnny Cash finished off his long illustrious career with...The resonance and true grit of these old hombres vocal chords is perfect. 

Stephen Thomas Erlewine at Allmusic writes: Mortality hangs over God's Problem Child, Willie Nelson's first solo album of original songs since 2014's Band of Brothers. Since that record, Willie lost several friends and he's also been the subject of several death hoaxes, a subject he tackles with a grin on "Still Not Dead," one of seven originals Nelsonco-wrote with his longtime producer, Buddy Cannon. "Still Not Dead" provides a gateway to the rest of God's Problem Child, where Willie looks at the world with a blend of bemusement and melancholy suiting a road warrior who is still going strong in his eighties. . . .
