3 New Willie Nelson Songs For Preview
As I mentioned a while back the Texas Yoda and Ryan Adams are teaming up for Willie’s next CD, “Songbird”, which is slated to drop October 31 (spooky!) now their label, Lost Highway Records, has posted samples of three tunes on their site for you listening pleasure: Songbird (the title song which was written by Christine McVie which appeared on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors), Blue Hotel and Rainy Day Blues.
However, it appears you will have to offer up an email address and get a password to hear more than one clip.The record also has Willie, backed by Ryan and his Cardinals, covering Songbird Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, Gram Parsons’ “$1000 Wedding”, and Jerry Garcia’s & Robert Hunter’s “Stella Blue.” But, the record is not all covers. Nelson wrote the acoustic “Back to Earth” and Adams wrote “Blue Hotel” specifically for Willie.

Angela Desveaux – Wandering Eyes – Thrill Jockey, Sept. 12
On her first CD, Wondering Eyes, Â Montreal alt-country singer Angela Desveaux songs conjure images of dusty roads, weary souls and tortured hearts. Veering from Emmilou Harris sweetness (Familiar Times) and Sheryl Crow folk-pop (The title cut) with Lucinda Williams twang without the whisky grit Ms. Desveaux paints pictures of hard-luck and gun-shy lovers.
The time spent performing as a back-up singer and guitar-for-hire for various Montreal bands and after initially turning her nose at country for a while (the music her parents preferred) she then discovered the Flying Burrito Brothers, The Byrds, Gram Parsons and Son Volt, led her to adopt her current style. She then sharpened her chops while playing at a Sunday night bluegrass open-mic at a little local bar in Montreal called Barfly. the Flying Burrito Brothers, The Byrds, Gram Parsons and Son Volt, led her to adopt her current style.
