I am a huge fan of Willie Nelson and I'm also a blues nut. So news of Willies latest, Milkcow Blues is pretty exciting to me. My CD budget is not what I'd like it to be, so I'd like some feedback before parting with money.

I've always thought that Willie would be a superb blues player/singer.

Has anyone heard it? Does he pull it off?

I can only comment on the one song I've heard, "Crazy." He does it as a duet with Susan Tedeschi and it's decent, very listenable, but I still like Patsy Cline's interpretation better.

Tedeschi is the one who adds the bluesy feel to the song, though. The arrangement is more in the jazz vein.

Steve, you are a fan of Willie's, huh? The new a;bum is AWESOME... Willie is truly an original...

Where do you live? If you are near me or we are somewhere convenient to one of his shows, I could introduce you... you'd love him... what a great, caring, unique individual.

Yep, and I think it's the best thing he ever wrote, especially when you stack it up against songs like "On The Road Again."

Guest,

Crazy is ceratinly one of his best. To compare it to On the Road Again is unfair because that was written as a theme for the movie Honeysuckle Rose which was essentially a film about being on the road.

The list of great songs that Willie has written is too long to even start. I'll forgive him for On The Road Again.
