    Willie Nelson's guitar playing is coarse, untrained, rough, and more brilliant than the work of anyone with a PhD in music or the most accomplished trained performers. It is a force of nature made even more wonderful played on that antique nylon string guitar. It is perfect.

    Willie's guitar solo @ 2:57 is the game-changer here, just masterful and Kristofferson backs off knowing that Willie is in charge, taking his song to a higher level. Willie hears sounds that others don't and has the gift of sharing those sounds through the guitar and his distinct phrasing. An awesome demonstration here for all of us who pick and sing and maybe write a bit. And KK is delighted to hear his song interpreted so well, transforming it really.

      Ya forgot a few. Don Williams, Patsy Cline, well, there are too many to name. But I agree. Without autotune, light shows, monster bands many of today's "artists" would be lost. Even today though we have Chris Stapleton, not only a great singer but a guitarist right up there with Willie. And they SAY Randy Travis is improving by leaps and bounds. But like you I miss the days when EVERY performer had to actually be worth his salt. Too many now aren't.

    My god. Willie is just unbelievable. He's got such a relaxed way of singing that just pours out emotion into every word he sings... and his guitar picking is right up there with the best of them.

    Here's another one of the long-standing greatest artists of our time! Willie Nelson was a superb song-writer and musician. Few can compare with that kind of success today! Listening to this number of Willie's is easy, soothing and relaxing, probably the easiest feeling I'll have all day long today!
    (Kris Kristofferson is a great songwriter (he wrote this song) and singer in his own right, so nice to see and hear them working together!) Willie is about 87 now, and STILL touring, still at it, bless him for giving us so many years of pleasure!

    On an autumn morning in Bowling Green Kentucky I was having breakfast at the Holiday Inn. I was working for a one hit wonder called Starbuck. I sat looking out at the morning unfold when a voice asked, "Can I join you?" I said sure thinking it was one of the Starbuck crew or band. Willie Nelson sat down and we had breakfast. What a super great human!

    An unsupassed version of Kris's brilliant song - sung by himself and Willie.
    To my mind Willie is the best of all time - songwriter, vocalist and musician.
    Willie's guitar sound is unique and instantly recogniseable and just listen to the audience's response to his solo!

    How wonderful to see his guitar in all it's glory. You could spend a fortune and still your guitar would never sound as raw and as exquisite as this instrument does. I'll bet that it has many a story etched into the scarred, scratched and gouged marks that are the honest beauty of this gorgeous piece of history. Of course anyone else just couldn't make it sing like Willie did. Thanks for posting this video. Just lovely.

      Kris is pretty much by himself when it comes to lyrics. Oh, Willie's close, but for pure poetry Kris owns it. There are some GREAT country songwriters, but for sheer number of outstanding songs Kris is IT.
