Willie Nelson

I was raised on Willie Nelson and finally saw him in concert last night (from the 3rd row). At 73, Willie can still tour, sing well and play the shitake mushrooms out of his trusty guitar, Trigger. He played all his standards, some Hank Williams tunes and tracks from his new album, You don't know me: Songs of Cindy Walker. If you don't own any Willie, however, start with Stardust or Red Headed Stranger.

Sidenote: Willie is still involved with Farm Aid and is in the Biodiesel business.
