A new retrospective, Songs (Lost Highway/Hip-O/UTV Records/UMe), to be released February 15, 2005, spans 40-plus years of Nelson's recordings, from his original 1961 demo for "Crazy" and his first Top 10 (1962's "Touch Me") to songs from 2002's hit albums The Great Divide and Stars & Guitars. Nelson's signature songs are featured on this release. Feaures duets with Lee Ann Womack, B.B. King, Brian McKnight, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings.
