Willie Nelson is like the New South, a strange 'combi
nation of hick and sophisticate. Willie is most famous
for his ass-kicking get-rowdy songs like "Whiskey
Jlivcr" end "Gotta Get Drunk," but he's just as at ease
when singing gospel or, more surprisingly, tin-pan
alley tunes. His versatile range runs from Hank
Williams to Cole Porter and is amazing, easily the
widest of any pop musician around today.
In 1978 Willie came out with Stardust, an album
which included the title Hoagy Carmichael classic and
several other- tin-pan -alley standards. At first it
shocked his fans to hear the grizzly Texan crooning
away at songs that seemingly wouldn't be his forte.
Cut Willie knows how to milk songs like "Don't Get
Around Much Anymore," "Georgia" and "Un
chained Melody" as well as Bing Crosby or Frank
Sinatra. Stardust remains ' Willie Nelson's biggest
selling album. And his newest release, Somewhere Over
the Rainbow, is a sequel of sorts to Stardust. Like its
predecessor the album is composed of classic tin-pan
alley songs.
But the tunes on Somewhere Over the Rainbow seem
to work better. Part of this is because the shock of
hearing a slightly nasal voice sing old favorites now has
worn off; it's no longer so disconcerting to hear his
smooth country voice softly singing something like
"Mona Lisa" or "Over The Rainbow."
The other reason why this album seems to work
better than Stardust is that it's orchestrated better. On
Somewhere Over the Rainbow Nelson has scrapped his
usual band and picked up a nice core of Nashville
sidemen, all playing string instruments.
The biggest strength of this group comes from
Johnny Gimble, who played fiddle with the legendary
Texas swing an enticing fusion of big band and

Wii'ia Kelson scratches his beard in a pose of contemplation
expresses "combination of hick and sophisticate" in latest album
country group Bob Willis and his Texas Playboys.
Gimble's- fiddle-playing on Nelson's album gives the
songs the necessary dreamy effect they need and
reinforce Willie's soft crooning in just the right way.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow also is helped most
notably by some swift guitar picking by Freddie
Powers, who duets with Nelson quite nicely on a num
ber of songs. Powers' voice is smooth enough for the
songs but a bit twangier than Willie's.
The standout tunes are the title track, which loses its
connotations of Judy Garland and New Deal hopes
and becomes a fresh lullabv of dreams, and "Who's
Sorry Now." Also quite nice are the old Nat King Cole
tune, "Mona Lisa,", and "Won't You Ride In My
Little Red Wagon," a song with such cutesy sexual
references that it would have been disasterous for any
other singer even to attempt it.
And that's something that can be said about every
other song on the album, too. Hell, there aren't many
"people, especially country singers, who would dare
attempt an album of age-old tunes like the ones on
Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Fewer still could make
them all work. That's what makes Willie Nelson
unique. That's what makes him great, the magical link
in a musical heritage that includes George Gershwin
and Kris Kristofferson.

The UNC School of Social Work has
created a Women Studies Material Center
to improve content on women in social
work courses, social work professor
Andrew W. Dobelstein said recently.
"We have organized materials and re
sources that deal with policy questions in
respect to emerging concerns of women,"
he said. Materials which highlight issues
of employment and employment discrimi
nation will be the center's focus now.
"The program is to help social work
students become more aware, of problems
that women have," Dobelstein said. "It
is important that students know what is
happening with women today."
Teanne Oehler, research assistant and
coordinator of the center, said the pro
gram would work out of the school's
Franklin Street office, and be an on-going
University network. It will provide re
jourcesand print-outs from which anyone
could gather information for papers,
theses, dissertations or general inquiries.
The center includes books, journals,
government documents, pamphlets and
biographical references.
Oehler said there was information avail
able on women's rights, the Equal Rights
Amendment, employment, health issues,
women in education and the changing
roles of women in today's society.
