It features Willie's new interpretations of classic songs written by Merle Haggard, the latest in Nelson’s storied history of focusing entire albums on a single songwriter’s or artist’s work. Nelson and Haggard were longtime friends and collaborators who released three collaborative albums together: 1983’s Pancho and Lefty, 2007’s Last of The Breed (alongside Ray Price) and 2015’s Django and Jimmie. Eleven of Willie’s favorite Merle compositions were handpicked for the album. Nelson’s new performances include songs from various parts of the legend’s career, from tracks off of Merle’s first #1 Country album, 1966’s Swinging Doors(“Swinging Doors,” “Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down”) and late 60s career defining hits (“Mama Tried,” “Okie From Muskogee”) to 70s cl
