Willie does Reggae(!?!)

[CJ]

Jus a quick note,opened up a mag. and saw an` album out( well, by july 12th) by willie Nelson. Thing is,.. He`s doing Reggae.Now, both the man an his music I have some passing respect for. And,I also will listion to Reggae an` all that.

     But it`s a bit of a jump to see the combo,..tho` I guess theres is one big green unifiying factor...

     Probably mostly the point,because Willie has never made secret he`s belief in the herb. But some are reggae songs,and some are country done over. The write up says it works.

Willie sure is one musical country boy.  I just love him.  Brother LW sent me a Phil and Friends show and guess what? Phil sez "Give it up for the real deal, Willie Nelson!"

Willie has an ear for a good song, be it one he writes or one he covers. Can't wait to hear it!

check out willie's appearance on toots's "true love" for a taste...

Reggae and Willie???----  Yah, you go mon   -   JRL is absolutely correct/ Willie can hear a good tune a generation away :!: -------- senorsal

Anybody else hear the CD of Willie from the 1950s that came out a little while back?  It was basically an audition tape, and you could hear tradition, mainstream contemporary and avante garde all jammin' together.  

Willie do reggae?  

All the elements fused together in that cowboy...do anything he wants.

Just wanted to add:  when we meet a person we usually forget we're just getting a slice, a snapshot.  

All those other persons they've been are still there, all they are yet to be still emerging...

[laughingwillow]

LOL Willie can do anything he pleases, as he is the devil.

And I wouldn't make something like that up, either..... hehe

Hmmmm. deified and demonized(w/ some humour that`s welcomed).

     Well,it sounds like Willy can do Reggae!

     Leastways,he better,              

                                        ..

    "A friend of the devil is a friend o` mine",    comes to mind somehow.

     But that`s not really how it cuts,either.

      Dicotomy.

     Willy mabe should do Reggae I guess.It speaks for ppl. as well as country does, good and evil intertwined.

Tu sais, CJ--dat Dev'l, mon, he cut both ways, him!

This I know is getting off subject,yea I was thinking of the so called biker thing...

      A moment ago,i stopped by the 'news',and read the account of the little girl in the midwest who was adbucted,and well,infamia' Then I thought of the one role I saw Willie Nelson in,in a movie called 'Thief',W/ james Caan,a Micheal Mann prod. circa late.. I think, 1980`s. (From what I remember, Willie looked old then ,72 now,i believe).

      Anyways,he played a dying con who didn`t want to die in prison. Appearently the prison was being filled w/the very ilk of say,this present sicko. And That was a place Willie did not want to die in.

     Stretching,but even then,somehow it rang true for his real personae....

     Jus a little trivia about Mr. Nelson.

No man, the devil is my friend Steve, I'm sure of it!

[laughingwillow]

Well, I had a full head of steam the night I figured out that Willie was the devil. And that was thanks to ttst and his desire to run in the tall grass with the likes of T Mckenna. ANyway, things started getting real strange for me by the time Phil took the stage. (willie opened for Phil at redrocks.) And when the willie fans behind us started up with some cryptic comments concerning the true nature of Willie, well, the clouds parted and I saw right then that Willie was indeed the devil incarnate. What a disguise, eh? Mild mannered toking cowboy. I knew right then I'd been had. Again. Just like fat freddie. Why, I never got religion so fast as that night at red rocks.
 
But lets keep this under our hats, eh, fellas? hehe

I remember Willie popped a blood vessel in his head or something that night.  Maybe he was just temporarly possessed.  Warren Haynes was looking mighty suspicious that night as well.  Turning into clay with those stubby fingers and all.  I don't think the IRS would go after the devil.  But that would be quite a disguise. hahahhahah

[space]

I don't think the IRS would go after the devil.

LOL!  

Yeah, that would be fratricide...

[JRL]

Wwll, just let me say that Steve is the dude that gets me to play in the house band on a thursday night jam session at a crank infested biker bar in Fair Oaks. If hell isn't a line of middle aged SRV wannabes with limited talent and large amps, you're gonna have to prove it.
