Willie Nelson Releases Reggae CD

On July 12, Willie Nelson finally released a reggae project which had been recorded in the mid-1990s and had been sitting on the shelf ever since.  The new CD entitled Countryman features Nelson's take on several reggae classics as well as his own originals.

Nelson's previous label, Island Records, had chosen not to release the project after it was recorded in 1995. Nelson's current label, Lost Highway, finally decided to release the somewhat unconventional CD.

The release features covers of Jimmy Cliff's "Sitting In Limbo" and "The Harder They Come."  Toots Hibbert of the legendary reggae band Toots & The Maytals joins Nelson on "I'm A Worried Man."  Nelson previously collaborated with Hibbert on a reggae cover of Nelson's "Still is Still Moving to Me" on the Maytal's  2004 release "True Love."
