Then I went to the authority of all things Willie Nelson, stillis stillmoving.com, and discovered what I had feared- Willie’s longtime stage manager and friend Poodie Locke died today at his home in Texas.

Teatro (1998)Music For Crying In Your Beer In ASouth Of The Border Tex-Mex CantinaI've got a couple of favorite Willie Nelson albums but there's something so alluring about the raw, live in the studio, laid back tex-mex feel of Teatro that sets it apart from the rest of Willie's work.

I don’t know if I totally agree, but there is no doubt that the “Nashville Sound” was the first attempt to put a formula on the music in order to make it marketable to a broader audience.

I guess you could say it was a way of me hoping they would come back into my life. Then life gave me something good, and that person was back in my life once again. That would be the funny part of it because often when you le...

Three of my favorite free spirits in one song. The brilliant words of Gram Parsons,the weathered, road tested voice of Willie Nelson, and Ryan Adams and his passion for music at the soundboard producing the record.My favorite from Willie's latest album
