Album Review: Willie Nelson - God's Problem Child

Lukas Murphy

"Where it might be slightly overproduced, it surely has not lost its emotion and attitude."

More Willie Nelson Willie Nelson

If one listens closely, they can hear the 84-year-old's gravelly voice held in place by the faint electric buzz of AutoTune on his latest release, God's Problem Child.

However, where it might be slightly overproduced, it surely has not lost its emotion and attitude. The album kicks off with a huge acoustic guitar sound on Little House On The Hill, Travis Picking its way into a jazzy shuffle groove. Interestingly, Willie's beloved Martin N-20 nylon-string, "Trigger", does not make a featured appearance until track three, True Love.
