DOWNLOAD: Willie Nelson – “Man With The Blues”
Country music legend Willie Nelson is releasing a new record of country and gospel standards with Grammy and Oscar winning producer T Bone Burnett on April 20, 2010. In support of his new record, he’s playing an already announced show on July 28 at Radio City with Levon Helm, but he’s also added another show at the much smaller Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center on May 6, 2010. Tickets for the Grand Ballroom show go on Amex presale starting April 7 (tomorrow) at 10 AM, regular on sale begins April 9 at 10 AM.
Willie Nelson goes back to his roots with a songbook of classic Americana. Country Music was recorded in Nashville, TN and produced by T Bone Burnett. Nelson wrote one track on the album, “Man With The Blues” and, with T Bone Burnett, co-arranged three traditional songs, “Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down,” “I Am A Pilgrim,” and “Nobody’s Fault But Mine.” The album also features many popular old-time/bluegrass/folk songs including Ernest Tubb’s “Seaman’s Blues, Merle Travis’ “Dark As A Dungeon,” and Doc Watson’s “Freight Train Boogie”. Willie Nelson collaborated with many musicians on Country Music including old-time banjo master Riley Baugus, double bassist Dennis Crouch, and T Bone himself, all musicians featured on Raising Sand, the 2009 Grammy award-winning Album of the Year by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
