Willie Nelson — American Classic

in
By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) August 26, 2009 1:55 pm
Leave it to the historians at Blue Note to remind us Willie Nelson is an American classic. This disc is billed as the follow-up to 1978's Stardust and is another album of jazz standards, sung in a country-folk style and played by jazz musicians. But where Stardust came out of nowhere, American Classic feels overdue. There are some nice...

Willie Nelson — Naked Willie

in
By David McPherson (CHARTattack) April 28, 2009 11:47 am
Seeing 75-year-old Willie Nelson in the buff is a scary thought. Thankfully, other than a playful picture of him in a bubble bath in the liner notes, that's as far as this image goes. In musical terms, "naked" Willie is much more appealing: a stripped-down Nelson — just the outlaw, his faithful guitar and his distinctive voice. The...

After slumming it with everyone from MOR-ior Rob Thomas (on the tame duets album The Great Divide) to Stiffler (in that awful Dukes Of Hazzard remake), Willie Nelson teams up with Roy Orbison-producer Fred Foster and Nashville luminaries such as steel-guitarist Buddy Emmons and harp-player Charlie McCoy to salute fellow Texan songwriter Cindy...

Yoko Ono is threatening to sue a man who owns a bar that's dedicated to John Lennon.

DJ Pauly D is being sued. No, not for stealing someone's fake tan, but for trademark infringement. DJ Paulie Lis filed a lawsuit against the Jersey Shore star, claiming it's impossible to search for him on the internet because DJ Fist Pump comes up whenever anyone looks and it's hurting his business. I'm assuming he doesn't also look like an Oompa...

You might think Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson don't have much in common... other than their love of pot, of course. But you're wrong. Both of them are hilarious, and they teamed up for a tune called "Superman" on Snoop Dogg's new Doggumentary album. The most awesome thing about it? Snoop sings instead of raps! Check out the video, which has some...

Willie Nelson has avoided being charged with felony marijuana possession stemming from his Nov. 26 arrest in Texas. He's just been hit with a misdemeanor, which is a good thing because it means 77-year-old Nelson won't be going to prison even if he's found guilty. (It's worth noting other websites are reporting he could get a maximum of one year...

Willie may end up getting two years in jail for possession of six ounces of pot, which is ridiculous considering he's 77 YEARS OLD. And it's POT. —TMZ The three founders of the notorious Pirate Bay website have had...

Want to see my Naked Willie? Don't be shy. I'm just going to show you a CD of songs originally recorded by Nelson from 1966 to 1970 that have been stripped of their former complex arrangements and now essentially feature our favourite country pothead on guitar and vocals and his longtime sideman Mickey Raphael on harmonica. Good stuff.
