Huh. It's got to have more than that. I'll look it up...I really like the duet w/ Willie and Keith--"We Had It All." I won't buy the CD if that song is not on it. |

The entire show is on DVD in excellent quality so it should be easy for someone with the know how to rip the audio to CD. |

seems we're getting more, after all (but not the Willie Nelson/Bob Dylan duet - hardly surprising as I doubt Dylan would have sanctioned it's release. Of all their duets together, this one was by far the worst)
Was watchin the DVD last night. It's pretty good and Keith was terrific, I thought.

Willie's 'Outlaws' Special Heads To CD
Musical highlights of the third Willie Nelson & Friends television special will be released on CD Sept. 21 via Lost Highway. Taped May 5 at the Wiltern LG in Los Angeles, "Outlaws and Angels" aired on the U.S. Memorial Day holiday on the USA Network.
The track list for the audio disc reflects the considerable star power that was on hand to perform with Nelson, including Keith Richards, Merle Haggard, Kid Rock, Joe Walsh, Jerry Lee Lewis and Toby Keith.
Haggard and Keith are the most-represented collaborators, joining Walsh and Nelson on Haggard's "Ramblin' Fever," as well as on versions of Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho & Lefty" and Haggard's "Mama Tried." Keith also appears with Walsh on a disc-opening version of Billy Joe Shaver's "Georgia on a Fast Train."
Haggard collaborates with Richards, Kid Rock and Lewis on the latter's classic rave up, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On," while Haggard and Nelson close out the set with a take on "I'll Fly Away."
Other guests performing with Nelson were reggae veteran Toots Hibbert, soul legends Al Green and the Holmes Brothers, country singer Lee Ann Womack, rock group Los Lonely Boys and singer/songwriters Ben Harper, Carole King, Shelby Lynne, Lucinda Williams and Rickie Lee Jones.
Backing each ensemble was an impressive house band, led by musical director/guitarist Jimmy Ripp. The group's ranks were bolstered by guitarists Nils Lofgren, Biff Watson and Kenny Lovelace, bassist Hutch Hutchinson, pianist Ivan Neville, keyboardist Jim Cox, drummer Jim Keltner, pedal steel player Greg Leisz, harmonica legend Mickey Raphael and a horn section boasting Dave Woodford (sax), Bill Churchville (trumpet) and Garrett Atkins (trombone).
Additionally, Maxine Waters Willard, Julia Waters Tillman, Bernard Fowler and Stacie Michelle provided background vocals and Nelson's own Family Band, featuring sister Bobbie Nelson (piano), Paul English (drums), Billy English (percussion) Bee Spears (bass) and Jody Payne (guitar/background vocals) crowded the stage to round out the sound.
If you missed the musical summit the first time around, cable/satellite television arts network Trio will rebroadcast the "Willie Nelson & Friends: Outlaws and Angels" special, emceed by actor James Caan, on Saturday (Aug. 14).
Here is the "Outlaws and Angels" track list:

joey, Toby Keith is building a house just a hop, skip, and a jump away from mine. When it's finished, I could invite SS down here, and we could stand outside Toby's house and call him names and throw eggs at him. |

Who's Toby Keith ?!?!?!
Wasn't he " Mr. Wang " ( the Asian friend of Rodney Dangerfield ) in the 1980 Classic " CaddyShack " ?!?!

Toby Keith is a big fat wannabe football player who became a country singer. He's a stupid redneck...and SS will tell you he is a twat and a fuckwit.
I've been meaning to tell SS that I met Toby about 12 or 13 years ago at a barbershop. One of my dad's boxers went to high school w/ Toby. This boxer is also a barber...and he was cutting my hair, and Toby walks in...and he was really fat with a perm and a mullet. He kept bragging about how he was going to become famous...I guess he did...but he's still a stupid redneck. |
