At the age of 91 Texas-born country star WILLIE NELSON is still doing
what he did since he was 23, releasing records and playing live.
His 76th (!!!) solo album (his 153rd overall, including collaborations,
soundtracks, and compilations), titled Last Leaf On The Tree comes
out on November 1st.
Here’s first new piece LAST LEAF. A melancholic country ballad.
Led Zep hero ROBERT PLANT and American bluegrass-country and fiddler artist ALISON KRAUSS worked together for the first time on their collaborative album Raisng Sand from 2007. Three years ago they released a 2nd one, titled Raise The Roof.
They toured in between and are right now playing shows again in Northern America.
For the occasion, they recorded a live version of WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS, which
is part of their live set from 2007 on.
It was covered multiple times afterward, and it was actually Led Zeppelin who
made the song famous with their 1971 cover that was part of Led Zeppelin IV.
Famous Denver songsmith NATHANIEL RATELIFF and his band are gearing up for
a new album, their 4th, named South Of Here. It’ll see the light of day on 28 June.

Here’s the first single HEARTLESS with Rateliff‘s
grand vox as the hero, as always, in the middle.
Maybe 76-year-old singer-songwriter/producer T BONE BURNETT, born Joseph Henry “T Bone” Burnett III, wasn’t the glamorous mega star as many
of his contemporary musicians were, like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Leonard
Cohen and Neil Young, to name just a few but his résumé is stuffed with great
musical achievements.
As a solo artist, he recorded/released several LPs. As a producer, he worked with Los Lobos, Elvis Costello, Brandi Carlile, and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and so many
more. He toured with Bob Dylan and other famous friends.
He won a bunch of Grammys, and he also won an Oscar for co-writing The Weary Kind
with Ryan Bingham, one of the songs that actor Jeff Bridges sang in 2009 film Crazy Heart.
As announced a few weeks ago, TBT has canned his 15th solo LP, his first new album in 18 years. He baptized it THE OTHER SIDE and it’ll come out on April 19. Pre-order info here.
It’ll be a special edition pressed on Silver Nugget wax and housed in a silver laminated jacket. The booklet features liner notes by compilation producer & former Lou Reed publicist Bill Bentley, featuring photos by Mick Rock and Timothy Greenfield-Sanders

Sunday morning brings the dawn in
It’s just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It’s just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out, the world’s behind you
There’s always someone around you who will call
It’s nothing at all
Sunday morning and I’m falling
I’ve got a feeling, I don’t want to know
Early dawning, Sunday morning (early dawning)
It’s all the streets you crossed not so long ago
Watch out, the world’s behind you There’s always someone around you who will call It’s nothing at all
Watch out, the world’s behind you
There’s always someone around you who will call
It’s nothing at all
