Willie Nelson Sure Is Lost
TV Soundtrack Audio Beef Today. Hurley has killer Desert Island Discs.
'Are You Sure?'
by Willie Nelson
from Crazy: The Demo Sessions, originally recorded between 1960 and 1965 for Pamper Music
ABC's 'Lost' is over for the season, people are wondering what's up with the spooky island with all the spooky stuff. They told us just enough stuff, mercilessly killed some folks, made up some more crazy crap and of course.. the cliffhanger ending. Here's a quick fix for those who appreciate the show, a Willie Nelson gem that Hurley listened to in the first season episode 'House of The Rising Sun.' It's a good thing that they found that crazy hatch because otherwise the producers wouldn't have been able to reference popular music after Hurley's walkman ran out of batteries!
This track is one of the demos that Willie Nelson recorded when he was under contract to Pamper Records. These versions are are frequently much better than those he would record later. When I first saw the episode and decided to post this song, I bought a 3CD European box set which had 'Are You Sure' and it was a multitrack electric 70s version. No thanks. This kind of thing, all you really need is Willie, a guitar and a load of tape hiss.
(Shouts out to all the Lost fanatics. You know who you are.)
