How in the world do I follow up near kiddie porn pictures of Scott Baio, you might be asking yourself. Well, how about we go 180 degrees and head to Texas. The father of "outlaw country" will be gracing Bonnaroo with his presence this year. Willie Nelson - who is 75 years old this year (and finally the age that he looks) - is still going strong and will be on stage to show all of us neo-hippies what a real hippie and Texan is made of.
Willie has lived a full life (4 wives and 7 kids) full of lots of touring, boozing, and weed but also of accolades (10 Grammy's), success (21 number one hits), and honors (the man has a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor named after him for crying out loud!) For our selection today, I thought I would show Willie's diversity. The man that written for Patsy Cline, Julio Iglesias, Dolly Parton, and Ray Charles is no stranger to trying new things, but this tune was unexpected when he put this cover on his 2006 Ryan Adams produced disc Songbird.
Here is his creative take on the Leonard Cohen classic, "Hallelujah".
