“Hard Edge, Texas” — Willie Nelson (Bad Reichenhall, Germany, May 24, 1998)
Unearthing a heretofore unbeknownst original composition by Willie Nelson is analogous to finding a genuine gold nugget while panning the cloudy upper deck of your toilet following a vicious prank by party invitees who you thought were your friends: it doesn’t happen very often, and when it does, you’re pretty psyched. I’ve been a loyal Willie listener for much of my life, but I hadn’t ever heard this song until I came to own this brilliant soundboard recording of the Brobdingnagian ‘98 show during which it was played. Supposedly, these flawless tapes exist because this music was planned for commercial release as a sequel to the classic 1978 bestseller Willie and Family Live. I’m curious when this perfect ballad was written, and whether or not it’s been released on one of Nelson’s multitudinous studio albums. Luke, I’ve got my intern “busy” with other “things” right now, would you mind having one of your research assistants poke around the interweb for some facts?
