I sometimes make fun of the fact that Willie has dueted with pretty much every singer on earth(including the muppets), but these really ARE special...
Believe me, this is not what you would expect....
Graceland was actually written with Willie Nelson in mind to sing it, with a country backing...this was before Simon decided to color the songs with a South African tint.....
These are really something special...thought I saw it all per Willie's duets, but this is different, believe me...
And two great songwriters here..one that wrote "Crazy", the other "Bridge over troubled water"..how can you beat that?
Two great American songwriters going at it here...
BTW, funny, but Homeward Bound totally makes sense, even more so, when WN sings it, per his nonstop lifetime touring, even the last few years..He knows plenty about "One night stands with guitar in hand", and the song really takes on a deeper meaning because of that....a little more than artie did when he was still that whiteman-fro headed 20-something.....
