“...And Then I Wrote” is the debut studio album by
country singer Willie Nelson, recorded during August and September 1962 and released
through Liberty Records.
Despite Nelson's fruitless efforts to succeed with his recording releases with D Records, and after trying with other labels as a singer, he sold several of his original written songs to other artists. After his composition "Family Bible" became a hit for Claude Gray in 1960, he moved to Nashville, where he was signed by Pamper Music as a songwriter. Several of his songs became hits for other artists, including Faron Young ("Hello Walls"); Ray Price ("Night Life") and Patsy Cline ("Crazy").
Fueled by the success of his songwriting, he was signed by Liberty Records. During August, Nelson started recording his first album, produced by Joe Allison. The single releases of the album "Touch Me" and "The Part Where I Cry" were recorded on that day in Nashville, Tennessee, while it was completed during September in the recording facilities of the label in Los Angeles, California. The single "Touch Me" became Nelson's second top ten, reaching number 7 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles.

“…Si apoi am scris” este albumul de studio de debut al
cantaretului de country Willie Nelson, inregistrat in august si septembrie 1962
si lansat prin Liberty Records.
In ciuda eforturilor nefructificate ale lui Nelson, de a reusi cu inregistrarile lui facute la D Records si apoi incercarile cu alte marci de inregistrare, ca si cantaret, el a vandut cateva cantece originale ale lui prin alti artisti. Dup ace compozitia lui “Family Bible” a devenit slagar pentru Claude Gray in 1960, el s-a mutat la Nashville, unde a semnat cu Pamper Music ca textier. Cateva din cantecele lui au devenit slagare pentru alti artisti, incluzand Faraon Young (“Hello Walls”), Ray Price (“Night Life”)si Patsy Cline (“Crazy”).
Alimentat de succesul compozitiilor sale, el a semnat cu Liberty Records. In august, Nelson a inceput inregistrea primului sau album, produs de Joe Allison. Single-urile lansate de pe album “Touch Me” si “The Part Where I Cry” au fost inregistrate in aceeasi zi in Nashville, Tennessee, in timp ce completarea s-a facut in septembrie in spatiile detinute de companie in Los Angeles. Singl-ul “Touch Me” a devenit al doilea slagar de top 10 al lui Nelson, atingand locul 7 in Bilboard’s Hot Country Singles.
