Always on My Mind (Willie Nelson album)

Always on My Mind is the 1982 studio album by country music singer Willie Nelson. It was a critical and commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and remaining there for 22 weeks. It also reached number two on the Billboard 200, a multi-genre album chart. The album was certified quadruple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The album's title track, "Always on My Mind," a country pop crossover ballad originally recorded by Brenda Lee in 1972 and also a hit for Elvis Presley, was the album's most successful single. Nelson's version became a signature song and won three Grammy Awards: Best Country Song, Best Male Country Vocal Performance, and Song of the Year (given to the songwriters). Other notable tracks on the album include "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" and "Bridge over Troubled Water."

Always on My Mind is considered a landmark album in Nelson's career and is often cited as one of the best country albums of the 1980s. It solidified his status as a mainstream artist and demonstrated his ability to interpret and revitalize classic songs. The album's success helped to further popularize the "outlaw country" sound that Nelson was known for.
