• Track Listing

Before his rise on RCA, and even before his early Liberty hits, Willie made these demo recordings. He would soon be writing for the likes of Patsy Cline ("Crazy") and Faron Young ("Hello Walls"); here, we hear young Willie singing "Go Away," "Man with the Blues," "I Didn’t Sleep a Wink," "What a Way to Live," "Let’s Pretend," "One Step Beyond," "Pride Wins Again," "Misery Mansion," "The Storm Has Just Begun," "Waiting Time" (two versions each of those last two) and more. Of these 40 historic tracks, 20 are otherwise unavailable on CD (or streaming for that matter)! Sunset Blvd.
