Daily News | Review: Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival in Camden with Chris Stapleton and Zach Bryan
Willie Nelson wasn’t even the most popular act on the bill when his own Outlaw Music Festival came to Camden on Friday night.
But you can be sure that it was the 89-year-old Nelson — on the road again, as always — was the most beloved figure at the seven-hour-plus fest, which also featured Southern rock sister act Larkin Poe, powerhouse country vocalist Brittney Spencer and Particle Kid, the project of Nelson’s son Micah. The latter, an amusing song abut the ephemerality of modern life, featured Willie making cat noises and appearing to enjoy himself immensely, and it was one of a number of songs that provided an opportunity for the genius songwriter and interpreter to display his underrated comedic talents.
Befitting a man his age who survived an aggressive case of COVID-19 earlier this year, he was dressed responsibly for the chilly autumn night, zipped up in a light down jacket. Subtle drama was conveyed in tender songs in the New Jersey night, from “Always On My Mind” to “Georgia On My Mind” to “I’ll Love You Till I Die,” which was written for Nelson by Stapleton and Rodney Crowell.
The latter was the only time Stapleton’s bruising, unhurried sound grew tedious and mannered. Otherwise, he was effective, applying his burly, expressive voice to well-crafted songs like “Might as Well Get Stoned,” “Fire Away” and “Cold.” The last featured an unfussy guitar solo full of feeling.
