So I have another cool album from the Petit Library today. Many of you may know (and actually many of you may not) that I love Willie Nelson. He's got an awesome voice, is a fine songwriter and just seems like a super cool dude. Plus one time he was on an episode of Monk!
Wynton Marsalis I am a little less thrilled by, but I certainly can't let that affect my views on this album.
Two Men With The Blues is a collaboration between Willie and Wynton and it has a great feel. It's got some great classics on it like Caldonia and Georgia On My Mind (seriously this song has been covered so many times). And, it's got vocals by Willie with a really awesome Jazz vibe provided by Marsalis and his band.
Here is a song from the album (Caldonia):
Also, here are songs from each of the artists solo careers, as I think it is a nice way to compare their separate sounds and their joint sound. Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
And April In Paris by Wynton Marsalis
So listen enjoy and check out this album!
