    Willie Nelson/Ryan Adams curious musical challenge. Willie has written some of the most beautiful lyrics and music.Many artists have benefited from his genius. Go to sleep Willie and do not cry and I will sing a lulluaby.

I sat in the front row at one of his concerts 25 years ago and there was no better showman. However, if he continues on this path he should get on his bus, fire up the French fries, and take it back to Luckenbach, Texas. Or maybe make his next album with that other cultural cockroach, Keith Richards.… Collapse
