To Lefty to Willie to Phossy with LoveEven in railing against the influence of another, the musician must admit that influence and its inescapability. Like Br’er Rabbit and the tar baby, every blow struck just brings the two closer together.

[11 September 2009] Willie Nelson: 2 June 2009 - Richmond, VAI hate to say it, but it seemed like he was just going through the motions. But for many people, that’s just fine. [8 July 2009] 
Willie Nelson / Asleep at the Wheel: Willie and the WheelNelson is the ideal singer for this sort of material, but a magical voice like his just doesn't belong in such mundane, stilted surroundings. [1 April 2009] Willie Nelson + Mary McBrideFor the entire night, you are not sure if you are present to hear Willie Nelson's music or simply to see the man himself. In the end, you attend for both. [26 November 2008]

Willie Nelson: Moment of ForeverMoment of Forever is stunning, for its spare demeanor and how well it shows off Nelson's talents. [8 February 2008] 
Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Ray Price: Last of the Breed [DVD]These three graying men are the true, diehard troubadours. This concert DVD will surely bless your little heart if you happen to be the last of another breed: the traditional country music fan. [15 October 2007] 
Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Ray Price: Last of the Breed Volume 1Yes, that’s right. Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Ray Price offer the somnolent styles of yesterday and today for your enjoyment. [28 March 2007]

Willie Nelson: You Don’t Know Me: Songs of Cindy WalkerWillie sings from the Great American (Country and Western) Songbook. [14 March 2006] Willie Nelson'Good morning, America, how are you?'

Willie Nelson: CountrymanNelson can't be faulted for the effort, and there are some good songs, but the 'regguntry' mix sadly is a hit and miss affair. [16 August 2005] 
Willie Nelson: SongsWillie Nelson is a country troubadour with few peers, and, as such, it's a virtual impossibility for him to release a best-of collection that's not worth listening to. Unfortunately, there's 'worth listening to', and then there's 'worth owning'. [16 March 2005] Blogs
