Willie Nelson

The tireless Willie Nelson is back with his latest long-player for Legacy Recordings.  I Don't Know a Thing About Love finds the legendary vocalist paying tribute to an old pal, songwriter Harlan Howard (1927-2002), an inductee into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame.  Nelson brings his burnished voice to new renditions of such classic Howard tunes as "The Chokin' Kind," "Tiger by the Tail," and "Busted."  I Don't Know a Thing About Love has been produced by Buddy Cannon and features Nelson (and Trigger, natch!) accompanied by Larry Paxton on bass; Lonnie Wilson on drums; Bobby Terry, James Mitchell, and Mike Johnson on guitars; Mickey Raphael on harmonica; Jim "Moose" Brown on piano and keyboards; and Wyatt Beard and Melonie Cannon on background vocals.  Available on CD and digital, with an exclusive vinyl edition coming later in the year from the Vinyl Me, Please record club.
