This is Willie Nelson Radio broadcasting live from Woop Woop australia
L.A. Times just now:
It’s incredible to ponder the range of those who love Nelson, how much this cohort transcends every imaginable classification, how Willie, and few others, brings together giants of county, rock, hip-hop, indie, experimental — seemingly all genres — without any off-putting airs or grandstanding. Among this diverse squad, Willie floats in a plane of spiritual unity while at the same time exemplifying a flesh-and-blood example of the melting pot that America is supposed to be. His implicit example is never not moving.
A possibly important footnote: Willie's obviously a great songwriter, so its interesting that his guests in L.A. are playing so many songs that he did not write, but merely covered in his own inimitable style. As you may know from the album thread, I believe that's exactly the direction that the Stones are now taking with their recording career. Not all covers, but lotza covers. And so i hope their new record is at least as successful as Blue & Lonesome because that would mean MORE recording in the years ahead
