WILLIE NELSON AND JOHN JACKSON

This week one of America’s great traveling troubadors, Willie Nelson, pulls his tour bus into New Orleans. Willie chats and the Nelson family band plays a live set, including the old favorite, Angel Flying too Close to the Ground and the title track of his new record, Milk Cow Blues. Also, Piedmont bluesman John Jackson drops by to play his brand of country blues from the Eastern Seaboard.
