Willie Nelson Sings the Blues January 12, 2007

He's got the right to sing the blues. As folk legend Willie Nelson told the great B.B. King and the late, great Ray Charles, "Gentlemen, I think I'm the only one here who actually had to pick cotton." Country outlaw Willie Nelson and Crescent City son Wynton Marsalis come together on two stellar evenings in The Allen Room to demonstrate soulfully why the blues should be our national anthem.
