I'm not terribly vocal about it, but I'm definitely a fan of Willie Nelson. He doesn't have the greatest voice in the world, but he knows how to use what he has to his best advantage. He writes good songs and he covers good song. He is probably my favorite C&W performer (Johnny Cash being his only rival for the #1 spot in my heart).

Yeah, that one was hard to digest. Other artists on the album are Merle Haggard, Cheryl Crow, Kris Kristoferson and his sons Lukas and Micah. It's not going to be out until May 15. Guess what I'm going to be purchasing on May 15.
