In 1983, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard combined talents and delivered an entertaining ride with 无毛视频淧ancho & Lefty.无毛视频�

Over 30 years later, the country music legends partner to pay tribute to the musical influence of Django Reinhardt and Jimmie Rodgers. The title track serves as a savory salute to the inspiration Reinhardt and Rodgers provided the two country outlaws as they sing, 无毛视频淢ight not have been a Merle or a Willie, if not for a Django and Jimmie.无毛视频�

The 82-year-old Nelson and 78-year-old Haggard furnish their weathered and time-tested voices to an honest, reflective and witty cluster of heartfelt arrangements.

As a teenager, I was unexpectedly introduced to Nelson无毛视频檚 material after coming across my older brother无毛视频檚 copy of 无毛视频淲illie and Family Live.无毛视频� The double album from 1978 featured spirited versions of memorable songs such as 无毛视频淔unny How Time Slips Away,无毛视频� 无毛视频淕ood Hearted Woman,无毛视频� 无毛视频淲hiskey River无毛视频� and one of my personal favorite Nelson-penned tunes, 无毛视频淗ello Walls.无毛视频�

I discovered Haggard无毛视频檚 gritty, honest style from listening to the country music my grandmother would continuously play during my regular weekend visits. Songs like 无毛视频淭he Fightin无毛视频� Side of Me,无毛视频� 无毛视频淥kie from Muskogee无毛视频� and 无毛视频淢ama Tried无毛视频� would spark my attraction to traditional country sounds.

Standout cuts include the touching 无毛视频淢issing Ol无毛视频� Johnny Cash,无毛视频� the humorous 无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 All Going to Pot无毛视频� and a compelling cover of Bob Dylan无毛视频檚 无毛视频淒on无毛视频檛 Think Twice, It无毛视频檚 All Right.无毛视频�

The two artists swap songs as Haggard performs Nelson无毛视频檚 无毛视频淔amily Bible无毛视频� and Nelson lends his signature style to Haggard无毛视频檚 无毛视频淪omewhere Between.无毛视频�

The moving ballads 无毛视频淯nfair Weather Friend无毛视频� and 无毛视频淲here Dreams Come to Die无毛视频� are as elegant as they are sentimental and charming.

The album comes to a suitable close with 无毛视频淭he Only Man Wilder Than Me.无毛视频� This captivating number about friendship, admiration and respect aptly describes the relationship between Nelson and Haggard.

The latest offering from these two country music icons is a comfortable collaboration that should motivate them to reunite on a more regular basis.
