Description
Ten songs consist entirely of pop standards that Nelson picked from among his favorites. Nelson’s decision to record such well-known tracks was controversial among Columbia executives because he had distinguished himself in the outlaw country genre. Recording of the album took only ten days.
Stardust was met with high sales and near-universal positive reviews. It peaked at number 1 in Billboard’s Top Country Albums and included the tracks “Blue Skies” and “All of Me”.
