    Two Men With The Blues is Willie at his most limber--and the surprise is that his co-star, the oft-formal Wynton Marsalis, sounds just as loose.

    [A] gem-filled recording. [Aug 2008, p.111]

    Although Willie Nelson changes for no one, he’s just as comfortable in your living room as he is in his, so it’s no surprise that a summit with Wynton Marsalis’ combo, recorded live at Jazz at Lincoln Center last year, is so inspired. [Summer 2008]

    This good-humoured set is sometimes a little too comfortable, but it's hard to gripe when they play Hoagy Carmichael songs 'Stardust' and 'Georgia On My Mind.' [Aug 2008, p.140]
