2 days ago

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...

Willie Nelson - Naked Willie
3 months ago

Chet Atkins was largely responsible for this sound. However, it is har...

It is fitting that my first live show of the year was Willie Nelson, the man that I've seen more throughout my life than some relatives, my musical godfather.

and like that you are gone again

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...

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
