on the album 'country music', produced by t bone burnett and released by rounder, nelson delivers his distinctive, understated take on such classics as 'dark as a dungeon,' 'nobody's fault but mine,' 'my baby's gone' and 'house of gold.' "this is a group of songs that when they first came out, it didn't take them very long to become standards," nelson says. "just like 'stardust,' 'moonlight in vermont,' 'all of me' and 'georgia' are considered standards, so are 'dark as a dungeon,' 'freight train boogie,' 'pistol packin' mama' and 'satisfied mind.' these are all standard songs from another field of music, but they are still the same category. they are just as good in their own way." during his lengthy career, nelson has covered a lot of musical territory, from spearheading the '70s outlaw movement in country music to recording 'stardust,' a legendary 1978 album of standards. he tackled blues on 2000's 'milk cow blues,' reggae on 2005's 'countryman,' jazz on 2008's collaboration with wynton marsalis, 'two men with the blues,' and western swing on 2009's 'willie and the wheel,' a grammy award-nominated collection with asleep at the wheel. 'country music' marks his first collaboration with burnett, who has won grammys for the 'o brother, where art thou?' soundtrack and for alison krauss and robert plant's 'raising sand,' as well as a recent academy award for the song 'the weary kind' from 'crazy heart'.
