On Live and Kickin', Elvis Costello and Diana Krall do this amazing version of Crazy...
They really did it good! They just called up for tickets to come to the show, and we said, "No, no, you gotta sing."

I missed EC on Frazier this past season ( I thought I was taping it but I think some child 'o mine ignored the note plastered on the tv screen that said DO NOT TOUCH THIS TV OR CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!)

Anyway....anybody know when it'll be rerun?

Saw the cd in Abbey Discs this afternoon for €22, Dr J. It's not worth that, EC and DK's take on Crazy is barely worth one listen. It'll be going for a tenner in a month.

My God, the lovers are sinbging together now. They'll be recording Peters and Lee covers next.

Kris Kristofferson's all-American journey has taken him from the Army Rangers to Nashville to Hollywood - with a few stops in the gutter along the way

(extract)

Standing backstage at the Beacon Theatre in New York, leaning against a crumbling brick wall in the dark, I could barely see Kris Kristofferson standing to my left. Willie Nelson was in the shadows to my right. Ray Charles was standing beside Willie, idly shifting his weight back and forth. A bit farther along the wall were Elvis Costello, Wyclef Jean, Norah Jones, Shelby Lynne, Paul Simon and respective managers, friends and family. Everybody was nervous and tight. We were there for Willie Nelson's 70th birthday concert in 2003.

Willie Nelson
ICON – Willie Nelson
(Lost Highway/Universal)
Rating: ★★★½☆

By Joe Nolan June 14th, 2011

During the month of May, Universal Music peppered nearly every genre on the shelf with releases from its budget compilation series ICON. Everyone from the Gin Blossoms to The Mamas & The Papas to New Edition to Louis Armstrong and Hank Williams got the ICON treatment, and while most of the CD’s feature little in the way of rare or unreleased material, the selection of lesser-known and live tracks for the Willie Nelson compilation makes it a notable exception.

By focusing on Nelson’s output since the closing years of the ’90’s, ICON – Willie Nelson avoids being a redundant addition to the artist’s already-available selection of compilation packages. The release opens with hit-and-miss picks from Nelson’s recent duets collections. An unremarkable “Mendocino County Line” duet with Lee Ann Womack is culled from The Great Divide (Lost Highway, 2002), while a rendition of “Night Life” from Milk Cow Blues (2000, Island Records) finds Nelson’s tête-à-tête with B.B. King bringing a stinging, ringing energy to an old chestnut.

The real treats on the album are the cherry-picked selections that highlight Nelson’s collaborations with superstar producers. The Daniel Lanois-produced “My Own Peculiar Way” (Teatro, Island Records, 1998) comes off as both exotic and intimate while Nelson’s Don Was-produced reggae album Countryman (Lost Highway, 2005) is represented by the artist’s rootsy, forlorn reading of the Jimmy Cliff classic “The Harder They Come.”

The album also features live cuts of “On the Road Again” and a crowd-pleasing rendition of “Crazy” featuring Diana Krall and Elvis Costello.

Elvis wishes Willie Nelson a happy 80th birthday.
