Next April country-pop-rock-folk-blues icon WILLIE NELSON turns 90 but no signs
to slow down. On the contrary, he will celebrate his birthday with a new longplayer,
named I DON’T KNOW A THING ABOUT LOVE.

A tribute album, to an old peer, the late country star HARLAN HOWARD with
Nelson covering 10 of his songs. His son Micah designed the LP’s artwork.

The first taster is BUSTED, a 1961 Howard penned tune.

Tap your feet, nod your head and get lazy to the blues.

KAREN O And WILLIE NELSON Team Up UNDER PRESSURE And Sound Totally Bewitching

WILLIE NELSON and KAREN O joined the
daily list of artists covering other artists.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ frontwoman was overwhelmed
when she heard that country legend Willie Nelson agreed
to do a duet.

“At this point my mind was melting but I had to focus and pull a song
out of the ether that was worthy of a living legend and spoke to the people
in troubled times, not an easy assignment. Like a bolt out of the blue ‘Under
Pressure’ came to mind. I’ve heard this song countless times without processing
the gravity of what Bowie and Freddie were singing about, maybe because their
performances are so exhilarating you get swept away in the high of that duet.”

It’s the terror of knowing what the world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
“Let me out!”
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
