Willie Nelson's tribute to his band

Willie Nelson Me and Paul album cover

Me & Paul focuses on Willie Nelson's longstanding relationship with band-members, especially drummer Paul English. That relationship was an effective emotional touchstone for this entire set of songs, some of which are remakes of Nelson songs from his early Nashville period. Nelson wrote the title track for English in 1971, and in a classic bit of songwriting, details some hilarious exploits on the road, it also has the distinction of being one of the few songs in existence about a drummer. The album kicks off excitingly with I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train, and there really aren't any noticeably weak moments. The band is superb and the record is considered, by many, to be a masterpiece.
