To celebrate my fave duet partner Willie Nelson’s 91st bday, after a magical week in Nashville of all things Patsy, I thought for this month’s NEILSON SINGS NELSON, I’d combine them and share this recording I did years ago of “Crazy” for the Brokenwood Mysteries soundtrack 💘

I will never forget this moment. 3 days have passed and my feet still haven’t touched ground. Singing Patsy on the stage where she sang at the Ryman, with her family in the audience, will go down as one the most joyous and moving experiences of my life. Airing on PBS in the fall!

“The night’s surprise was Tami Neilson, whose bravura “Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray” was a molten pool of watching the end go down…her reserve crumbled into a massive wave of emotion that even dwarfed her sartorial drama.” WOW, thank you Variety 🥹🙏🏼 variety.com/2024/music/new…

When you start the day with Sunny Sweeney, have lunch with Wanda Jackson’s granddaughter and end it having a chat with Patsy Cline’s daughter after band rehearsal with Cactus Moses and The Isaacs, you know there is nowhere else on earth you could possibly be but Nashville 🤯🤩

COWBOY CARTER reaction!

He ate this, he spilled and no crumbs were left!

You being completely absorbed over what happens after your song or album or video is released is robbing you of your artistic strength. Analytics will kill your authenticity. Stop giving a sh-t and make the music you organically should make, for you, not an algorithm. 🤷🏻‍♂️

An important article from my friend Tanner D of the The Black Opry fam. Read the story behind Beyoncé’s reasons for making this album.“I saw Beyoncé get booed at the CMAs. I’ve been waiting for 'Cowboy Carter.'” msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
