Willie Does Reggae

You gotta love Willie Nelson. I haven't always been into him but as I age the more comforting his music becomes to me. How can a country bumpkin like Willie do reggae? Well, when it comes right down to it, Willie and the Rastas share more in common than you might believe at first glance. He covers Jimmy Cliff's "Sitting In Limbo" and "The Harder They Come" as well as some of his own classics like "I've Just Destroyed The World I'm Living In", and "Darkness On The Face Of The Earth". The bitter "One In A Row" and the old lament "I'm A Worried Man" are also worth checking out. I'm not gonna say it rocks but it definitely sways. Good fun.
