Publisher's summary

More than any other writer before or since, Louis L'Amour brought the American West to life. His action-packed stories deal with eternal themes: honor, deceit, passion, betrayal, loyalty, courage, love. His settings are historically accurate, his prose riveting, and his characters colorful: good guys, bad buys, toughs, roughs, sidekicks and saints.

This collection gathers eight popular Louis L'Amour stories performed by a star-studded cast, including Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Charles Dean.

The collection includes:

  • "Riding for the Brand"
  • "The Black Rock Coffin Makers"
  • "Dutchman's Flat"
  • "The Nester and the Piute"
  • "Mistakes Can Kill You"
  • "Four Card Draw"
  • "Trail to Pie Town"
  • "Big Medicine"

Critic reviews

"Sometimes a larger-than-life author deserves a larger-than-life narrator. Willie Nelson uses his distinctive Texas drawl and unhurried pace to deliver these tales of Louis L'Amour's Old West with conviction and warmth. Some equally famous friends Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson perform cameos in a well-produced multicast adaptation of 'Riding for the Brand', complete with jingling spurs, war whoops, and gunshots. This collection serves as a fine introduction to L'Amour's work and includes some of his best-known pieces." (AudioFile)

Willie Nelson reading Louis Lamour

Willie Nelson reading his favorite Louis L’Amour stories with a little guitar in the background- does it get any better?

Stories good but too many guitar breaks

A guitar break from Willie between chapters and stories makes sense and would have been appreciated but it feels like there's one after every paragraph which continuously interrupts the flow of the stories.
