I loved Carrie’s Grammy performance of “San Antonio Rose.” She’s performed her own singles a lot, so I liked the change. I agree with about Rascal Flatts: 10 minutes of them singing Eagles songs is not a fair representation of country.

Don’t worry about it, I knew when I posted about Willie this morning that it’d probably garner a comment from you ;) Thanks for letting me know the kid’s names, I’ll see if I can find something on Rhapsody.

My last comment on this, promise. [It's your fault for getting me started on talking about Willie Nelson! :) ]Folk Uke, with daughter Amy has an album out, too. And Paula Nelson has album out, too.

Here’s one last link to Willie’s talented family; pictures from his ‘06 picnic.

Ooops! Sorry, Brody, the band with Lukas and Micah Nelson is called Harmonic Tribe. They have changed their name a couple times, but they are now Harmonic Tribe. At CD baby, you have to search by that name.

Brody, the boys do have an album. They are part of a band in Hawaii, Planetary Bandits. They play kind of a funk/reggae/roots/blues/rock mix and are really quite good. Lukas on blues guitar is amazing. I have heard his “Flooding down in Texas”, and it gives you goosebumps. Willie brought the whole band to a couple of his Picnics in Fort Worth and I got to see/hear them there. Here’s a link to my blog about them http://stillisstillmoving.com/?cat=52. Also, they have a nice myspace space, http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=86828643 where you can hear a sample from the cd, one with Willie joining in. There cd is available from cdbaby.com; you have to search for them.

I wish they were my reviews, unfortunately I wasn’t lucky enough to be at the rodeo last night. Do you know if any of his kids have albums out or not? I’d very much like to hear what they sound like.

I love your reviews! I heard Willie’s boys were back in Texas from Hawaii, and wife Annie, too. The boys played with their dad at the AetheriA fundraiser this week, as well. Kinky Friedman, Jessica Simpson, Larry Hagman joined in for the fundraiser, as well.

Willie’s boys are talented, aren’t they! I have heard them a few times, usually in the summer when the are off school and touring with dad, at his Picnic. But Willie’s daughters are good too, Amy Nelson, who plays with Folk Ute (with Arlo Guthrie’s daughter) and daughter Paula, who lives and plays music in Austin. I love Willie’s picnic, because you get to see all the kids come out and play with their dad.

Thanks for the reviews.
