Willie Nelson - batch review of some early albums

From Willie's Stardust and before period, I've only got Phases and Stages and Red Headed Stranger (as well as Stardust of course). All of following, I give a B plus, although I think I like To Lefty from Willie best of them all, and might even rate it an A minus, but for the songs being overly familiar even to a non-country adept.

Yesterday's Wine
Shotgun Willie
To Lefty from Willie

After this, I've only happened to collect those Willie solo albums that Christgau has rated a full A, plus his collabs with Webb Pierce and Hank Snow. On collabs, I de-shelved his collaboration with Asleep at the Wheel, Willie and the Wheel, and his collaboration with his sister Bobbie, December Day.
