I may not be a big fan of country music but I adore Willie Nelson. His new album with Asleep at the Wheel amply demonstrates why. In particular, I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None o' This Jelly Roll and Bring It on Down to My House showcase how much enjoyment there should be in old bluesy, rollicking standards. After last years' great collaboration with Wynton Marsalis (from which you can enjoy a great version of Caldonia), I didn't think Nelson could top himself. Clearly, I was mistaken. I listen to him because he always sounds like he's having as much fun recording the music as I am listening it. You can listen to the album for free on the Willie and the Wheel web site, including a country-fried version of Corrine Corrina sure to tickle your auditory nerves.
