Willie Nelson’s new album Songbird was released today, what an excellent Halloween treat! The album was produced by Ryan Adams and features Ryan and his band the Cardinals as Willie’s backup band. The album is very bluesy and has some killer guitar licks to compliment Willie’s lyrical presence. The steel guitar really sounds sweet, giving Songbird the country sound of a Willie Nelson album. The album features many covers including Grateful Dead’s Stella Blue, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, Gram Parsons‘ $1000 Wedding and Fleetwod Mac’s Songbird. If you are a Willie Nelson, you must check out Songbird!
