In a monumental collaboration with Wynton Marsalis, Willie Nelson's drops his new album today - "Two Men With The Blues" - on Blue Note Records. This jazz and blues mash-up features all the usual suspects from Marsalis's band supported by Mickey Raphael, Nelson's regular harmonica player. This supergroup puts in notable effort over a span of ten tracks which stuffs in excellent covers of 'Stardust' and 'Georgia On My Mind.'
