Texas Monthly reports on Willie Nelson’s May 15 album- five things you need to know, including:
Willie himself wrote three songs: “Hero,” “Come On Back, Jesus,” and “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die,” a song he performs with none other than fellow toker Snoop Dogg. There’s also a trio of old country covers: the 1930’s ballad “My Window Faces The South;” the 1943 classic “Home In San Antone;” and 1949’s “Cold War With You,” a duet Willie sings with Ray Price.
The always excellent Sweetback Sisters are playing Brooklyn’s Bell House on Thursday night, March 8th at 8:30 pm. Fantastic harmonies and sweet instrumentals. A great way to spend a Thursday night….

Just a reminder tonight begins the 2-day Americana Pie Festival at Southpaw. $10 per night or $20 VIP PACKAGE includes tickets to both nights, a four-pack of Sixpoint Craft Ale drink tickets, and a copy of “This Is Brooklyn Country, Volume 1” a $50 value!
With Mount Moriah, Viva, Karen & the Sorrows, Juan & the Pines, a spectacular all Dolly Parton raffle, a fabulous bakesale to benefit the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, and, of course, two stepping (complete with a lesson) courtesy of Big Apple Ranch. You do not want to miss this one. $10, and advance tickets available here.
Johnny Cash - So Doggone Lonesome
Star studded! Flatt and Scruggs launch into Salty Dog Blues after this. The quality on that’s a little dubious, but if you want to see it start it here.
