Description

Nelsons concept album narrating the story of a couples divorce, with side one exploring the situation from the womans perspective, and side two looking at it from the mans.

Nelson has shared over the years that the songs reflect universal accounts of grief and heartbreak and are not autobiographical. It was also one of the first Nelson albums to feature his own band, and the second Willie Nelson release on Atlantic. Originally recorded in 1972 at Muscle Shoals in Alabama, Nelson and his band revisited it in the studio in Nashville and released it in 1974.
