Willie!...

Lately, Willie Nelson has become a strong influence in my house.
  I pulled out my 3 CD-collection"Revolutions Of Time" and listened to tunes like "Old Friends", "In The Jailhouse Now", "Blue Eyes Crying In  The Rain"...
  Excellent stuff.
  I was so moved that I went to my vast (!)(?) music collection and procured my copy of his duet album with Ray Price, an excellent LP called "San Antonio Rose." Every song is phenomenal.
  But I am not done...
  I then whip out a 20th anniversary "Outlaw" CD that features Waylon and Willie and the Boys...er that is Jessi Colter.   Excellence still rules.
  After all that Willie-ness, I decided to start reading Willie's latest book, "Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die."
  I will have a review soon.
  What I have learned throughout this journey of Nelson is that this guy is truly a musical genius, his simple yet complicated method of playing guitar, his lyrics (just listen to "Seven Spanish Angels", with Brother Ray Charles...ooo-wee) outstanding,
  Country music done the old school way is pretty incredible...
