For over 35 years, Bobbie Nelson--sister of Willie--has sat at the piano in her brother's concerts, the modest female counterpart to the hairy-legged, craggy-faced men who cart the Texas honky-tonk sound across America. Her playing melds into the ensemble that makes up Willie's rough-hewn style, even as it also stands out in its assertiveness. At 76, the elder Nelson is just now releasing her first solo album, one that employs far more subtlety than she's able to demonstrate in the Family Band. And she's packed plenty of other surprises under the lid, rendering her brother's standard, "Crazy," as a cocktail-hour homage, for example, and imbuing the classic "Laura" with all the grand, old-style romance of yesteryear. If a Spanish number, "Sabor a Mi," seems a bit beyond her emotionally, she rolls out the boogie-woogie and ragtime of her youth with ease and aplomb, turning transcendent with such sporting-house staples as "12th Street Rag" and "Pinetop's Boogie." Always an instrumentalist, she never attempts vocal accompaniment, and calls upon her famous sibling to bookend the album with two of his recent original songs. Both find him in a romantic mood, the latter, "'Til Tomorrow," making its debut here. But it's "Back to Earth," which also appears on Songbird and Last of the Breed, that resonates long after the album is over, Bobbie's understated playing giving solace to her brother's woeful declaration of a shattered love affair. --Alanna Nash

No surprises as we have heard her play piano on some of Willie's CDs
We enjoy it very much.
Bobbie Nelson "Audiobiography" February 25, 2008
Willis R. Schwichtenberg (Freeport, Illinois)
I really enjoyed the two songs when Willie joined his sister, Bobbie, but I was a little disappointed in the rest of the music. It was OK but nothing to write home about. I do appreciate Bobbie Nelson's skills and talents and her background music. Obviously, she and Willie together make the best team. Willie's songs, as usual, were outstanding. --Pastor Switz
 Bobbie Nelson's Hot New Album October 15, 2007

Audiobiography BOBBIE NELSON'S NEW ALBUM, "AUDIOBIOGRAPHY" takes a back seat to No One! Although she is the "big sister" of the huge musical Icon WILLIE NELSON, she holds her own in this album. While Willie does sing a few duets on the album with Bobbie playing (as they have for years), Bobbie lets loose with her music, and it's HOT! "Audiobiography" not only tells the story of her life in musical genre, it showcases her awesome talent as a musician in her own right. With a feel of blues, jazz, and somewhat reminiscent of the 1920's to the 1940's, this album will get a lot of play, and you'll find yourself listening over again, many times. This is a "must-have" album, you might get a spare, replaying over and over tends to wear! Kudos to you, Bobbie, you've created a masterpiece!...-RACHEL-
