Willie Nelson and reggae might seem at first to be an unlikely match.

Upon further thought, though, Nelson's laid-back sensibility, subtle

rhythmic lilt, and stoner image make his reggae album, COUNTRYMAN, seem in retrospect like an inevitability. Instead of adding his distinctive jazzy drawl and ragged guitar to a batch of reggae classics, though, Willie mostly keeps it country amid the Kingston grooves, delivering many of his own songs, as well a couple by Johnny Cash and reggae giant Jimmy Cliff.

Produced by Don Was, these tracks mostly feature L.A. session musicians doing a credible approximation of early-'70s Cliff/Toots & the

Maytals-style roots reggae, while Willie remains unflappable atop the

rhythmic change-up of the arrangements. These sessions actually sat in the can for about eight years before finally seeing the light of day, but anyone who ever wondered what bleak, ruminative Nelson chestnuts

such as "Darkness on the Face of the Earth" and "I've Just Destroyed

the World" would sound like with the added emotional contrast of a

Willie Nelson-The Great Divide

Variety has been the spice of Willie Nelson’s life over his last five or so albums, as he’s covered everything from blues to reggae and the Muppers. So perhaps that’s why “The Great Divide” is such a surprising turn: It’s his most polished, commercially minded CD since 1993’s “Across The Borderline”. He’s even offering star studded collaborations by the barrelful “Maria” featuring Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas carries Mexicali overtones “Mendocino County Line” is a heavily orchestrated duet with Lee Ann Womack that basks in melancholy; and “Last Stand In Open Country” finds Willie and rapper rowdy Kid Rock harmonizing on a rebel Western pop song that wouldn’t be out of place on a Bon Jovi album. Other duet partners include soul crooner Brian McKnight and beloved blues-rocker Bonnie Raitt.

Even when he goes it alone, the ever-unpredictable Willie keeps us guessing. He radiates old-soul wisdom on his version of Cindy Lauper “Time After Time” and offers a take on the Kenny Rogers & The First Edition classic “Just Dropped In. The Great Divide adventurous flavor serves notice that at 68, Willie Nelson is a hungry as ever for creative challenges.

Rainbow Connection

The Rainbow Connection was originally planed to be a children’s CD. My daughter Amy had been trying to get me to do a children’s CD for 20 years. Rainbow Connection was one of the songs that she wanted me to record. I kept saying I would but never did. Last Christmas we all got together at World Headquarters’ in Luck, Texas my daughter Amy, Paula, and Suzie along with Matt Hubbard, David Zettner, Gabe Rhodes and all residents of Luck; John, Rick, Ed, Kal, and Tonye, who are also important link to Rainbow connection.

A Perfect ending to the journey of a lifetime. From Rainbow Connection to the “Thirty-Third of August: Thanks for traveling with Willie Nelson and Family
