To most of America, Willie Nelson is a household name, as it is here at Collide, which is why we were SO excited to be able to create the branding and packaging for his new album, Remember Me Vol. 1. The new release from Willie Nelson and R&J Records, has plenty of familiar standards recorded by Willie with producer James Stroud from the “classic country songbook” made famous by the likes of Johnny Cash, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Porter Wagoner, and Vern Gosdin, and others – all with Willie’s signature twist!

To reflect this rich heritage in the packaging, we revisited the classic LP style (a vinyl edition of the album is on its way too), and created a digital photo-illustration for the cover to add to the timeless, classic quality. We hope you enjoy this project as much as we do. It’s now available on CD (Amazon) and digital (iTunes).
