I second Crazy: The Demo Sessions.

I have probably listened to that album 100 in the last year.

I'd also suggest "The Early Years: The Complete Liberty Recordings."
Great collection of songs from early on in Willie's career, one of my favorite Willie collections.

I've seen him about 4 times, got to meet him once talk to him for a bit and get my picture taken with him. I had t-Shirts made up of the pic and gave them to friends and family. He's one cool customer.

I don't know much about him, but the song "I gotta get drunk" is 100% essential.

I literally think this is a good song, not just some novelty track about getting drunk.

"The Essential" has most of the songs mentioned above. The first disc especially is gold.

Has anyone heard the new reggae cover album? Received awful reviews and walmart refused to carry the cover with a cheeba leaf.
