Background
Laying My Burdens Down was Nelson's second
Nashville Sound and don't seem to be able to stand on their own." Despite the paltry sales, Nelson remained loyal to RCA head Atkins, later stating, "Even though his vision and mine were different, I couldn't get mad at a man who believed so deeply in my talent – especially when that man happened to be one of the best guitarists in the world."[3]
Reception
AllMusic: "This is what can best be described as a pleasant album...Not great, but you could do worse."
