About The Record:

Partners, by Willie Nelson, features a polished countrypolitan sound produced by Chips Moman and recorded at Pedernales Recording Studio in Texas. The album includes a mix of original compositions and covers, such as Neil Young's Heart of Gold and George Harrison's Something, with some pressings containing a misprint labeling the latter as Something In The Way She Moves by James Taylor. Historically, Partners marked Nelson's embrace of digital remixing, reflecting mid-1980s technological advancements in music production during his prolific phase following the outlaw country movement. The tracklist opens with the heartfelt title track Partners After All and encompasses emotionally resonant songs like When I Dream and Hello Love Goodbye, showcasing Nelson's signature guitar work and collaborations with Nashville session musicians including Reggie Young and Mickey Raphael. While the album did not yield major hit singles on the Billboard charts, Partners After All served as the lead promotional single, encapsulating themes of enduring relationships central to Nelson's enduring catalog.
