Stardust
Stardust is not up to Nelson's expectations, despite being highly acclaimed by critics.

Nelson always wanted to be an Artist, but the Nashville Music Industry relegated Nelson's role to that of a songwriter.

Both of them performed songs from their duet records, and their musical affinities came out during the concert. The Billboard Country Albums chart ranked the album "Django and Jimmie" at number one. The album reached number one on several other charts outside the US. Jamey Jamey was the featured artist on the single, "It’s All Going to Pot".
