Willie and Toots


Good stuff. Willie fits in pretty well. I heard Willie's reggae-ish album from about a decade ago and recall it worked surprisingly well.

I wonder how Toots would handle a country song arrangement with Willie? I can't quite see it.

Good ol' Willie is busy releasing albums these days. After the superb collaboration with Merle Haggard, his next album is a set of pop standards, penned by America's legendary songwriting duo George and Ira Gershwin, inspired by the selection of Willie as the 2015 recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
