This is kind of interesting and a good a way as any to wrap up the blogging week.
On their new album, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard have recorded “Missing Ol’ Johnny Cash.” No, it’s not good enough to be a single (hell, they probably don’t make “singles” anymore but I’ll call it that anyway), but, again, I found it interesting.
By the way, I’ve met Merle Haggard. I’ve ever met Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash, but I have seen them perform.
Maybe you don’t find that interesting, but you all have a good weekend just the same.

I’ve heard worse I guess.
Any song that even mentions Johnny Cash is a GREAT song to me.
I got curious so I need a Google search to find out how old Merle is these days. He’s 78. Compared to Willie, he’s just a kid!
I’m pretty sure you already know about this song.
I enjoyed both videos. Thank you too Jack Rabbit!
Both these gentlemen are living legends. I’m thankful they are still around and making interesting music.
I love it when old friends make new music.
I like both these guys but sometimes I wish Willie would cut his damn hair. He is too old to be wearing it like that.
Bee, is this how you want Willie to look??
I love the fact that he’s been playing the same guitar for decades. They are like partners in good music.
I always liked John, Willie and Merle (and Ray Price, too). But I hear very little of today’s so-called “country” music that I like. It’s become watered-down rock with very limited subject matter, no stories, and it’s not especially well played.
A true story teller was Tom T. Hall. Not very likely you will ever hear him on the radio again.
I still listen to Johnny Cash music all the time.
Hey, that is a clever way of thinking about it. It is very informative and you are obviously very knowledgeable in this area.
