Rip Notes

The event was simply billed as "Willie Nelson Sings the Blues," but the historic
two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far
more than that. Call it a summit meeting between two American icons, Willie
Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day
country and jazz, who discovered common ground in their love for jazz standards
and the blues. Their performance stirred the sounds of New Orleans, Nashville,
Austin and New York City into a brilliantly programmed mix that was equal parts
down-home and cosmopolitan, with plenty of swing and just a touch of melancholy.
To say that these shows were a hot ticket would be an understatement. Luckily,
the tapes were rolling and the results of this unique collaboration now
constitute the Blue Note album Two Men With The Blues for everyone who couldn't
cram into The Allen Room. Featuring great playing from one of the hottest bands
around these classic tracks are given new life by the extraordinary dual talents
of Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis. At a time when most people are thinking of
retirement, Willie has never been busier. His profile has been high in recent
weeks with his various career retrospective releases and sold out tour and this
album can rightly stake it's place alongside anything else he has done. Wynton
rarely sounds so relaxed and both of these musical giants are clearly having the
time of their lives together on these new interpretations of some of the
greatest songs of the 20th century.
Enjoy.
