Island in the Sea is a studio album by the American musician Willie Nelson , released in 1987.[1] [2] The album contains two singles : the title track and "Nobody There but Me", which respectively reached No. 27 and No. 82 on the Hot Country Songs charts.[3] "The Last Thing on My Mind " is a cover of the Tom Paxton song.[4]
The book Willie Nelson: The Outlaw calls the album "a laid-back slice of old-time textures, including Hawaiian music, yodeling, folk, and country, with four [sic ] overproduced tracks by Booker T. Jones tacked on at the end."[5]
Critical reception
[ edit ]
The Philadelphia Inquirer praised Nelson's original compositions.[6] The Vancouver Sun deemed the album "a trifle better than standard Willie."[8] The Orange County Register noted that the album's first side "features the spine-tingling beauty of the unadorned Nelson sound."[9] USA Today considered the title track to be the album's best song.[10]
