Simon Cowell of American Idol and Britain's The X Factor told the CBS Morning Show on Wednesday that the Beatles never would have made it past the first round of the competitions unless they replaced Ringo Starr."If The Beatles came on the show we would have said, 'We'll take those three - Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison - but probably lose the drummer.' With Ringo, I'm afraid,...

MUSIC NEWS - Willie Nelson continues to show us he's a musical treasure. And with AMERICAN CLASSIC, his new release on Blue Note, he's again been able to successfully cross musical genres. He's a valued "American Classic", as he's aptly named new album says. It's his second CD of 2009 (the first one with Asleep at the Wheel), with two out in 2008 ! With all this Willie music to liste...

Check out the “twitterview” – a cute way of describing an interview conducted on twitter - between TheBoot.com and Willie Nelson as was gearing up for his MySpace free secret concert in Maui, Hawaii.Speaking of the twitterverse (yeah, I’m gonna get mileage out of this), Charlie Robison won’t have to travel far to play a [...]Related posts:News Round Up: Patty Griffin & Bruce Robison

Willie Nelson's supposed followup to Stardust falls a little flat.Willie Nelson can do no wrong for most country (and pop) fans, but his latest offering of pop-jazz renderings falls fairly flat. A kind of sequel to the well-acclaimed Stardust, American Classic revisits some old favorite standards, covered previously by Nelson and otherwise. Elevator jazz mixes with a classical shadow of strings...

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. Perhaps it's producer Daniel Lanois' decision to record the album in an abandoned movie theater in Mexico, or E...

Many people will tell you it all began back then. What was the “Nashville Sound” in the sixties is now Adult Contemporary with an accent. 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. Chet Atkins was largely responsible for this sound. However, it

As unappealing the term "Naked Willie" may sound, the album is worth overlooking the title.Naked Willie is a collection of 17 Willie Nelson tracks originally recorded for RCA Records between 1966-1970. Much like The Beatles' Let It Be Stripped, Naked Willie sees the original recordings taken back to their bare bones.Producer Mickey Raphael uses the original master tapes from Nelson's sessions

Funny how life works sometimes, actually a lot of times it is not something you really want to laugh at. A while back I did a post about a friend who I had thought I lost. 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...

One of the most popular of Willie nelson's recordings was "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" from his wildly popular first LP for Columbia "Red Headed Stranger." Originally Coilumbia did not want to release this album because of the fact that Nelson with Waylon Jennings who was on this LP were singing with just a guitar and piano accompaniment. Release it they did and it became a million seller for...

A huge favorite with listeners is Willie Nelson's rendition of "Stardust" by Hoagy Carmichael. Carmicahel was still alive when Willie recorded this song in 1979. Heaven knows if he loved this version but there is no denying that this is a performance that will always remain in one's memory banks. Look for the magnificent guitar solo by Nelson which was used by more than one television station a...

It's always fascinating to hear the creator of many songs performing their works. Here we get a chance to hear Willie Nelson singing a solo version of this justifiable country classic, "Crazy," a big hit for Patsy Cline.In addition to being a singer, Willie Nelson is also a great actor, appearing in films such as "Honeysuckle Rose,""The Electric Horseman,""Barbarossa" and the tv version of "Sta...
