Paula Nelson’s new cd, ‘Little City,’ is ready to ship! Paula wrote all the songs on the album, except for one, and you will be moved by the poetry of her lyrics. Paula and her band toured hard last year, and this album reflects their collective talent and hard work. Playing in the band are Landis Armstrong on electric and acoustic guitars, Kevin Remme on drums and percussion, and Mark Epstein, bass, keyboard and electric guitar.
Paula invited family and friends on her album, including Willie Nelson and brother Lukas Nelson, who appear on the only song on the album not written by Paula, the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain.” Everyone who hears their rendition says it’s better than the original, with all due respect to John Fogerty and CCR. Also featured on this song is Michael Crow, playing accordian.
Amy Nelson sings with her sister on three songs on the album, the cover song, ‘Little City,’ ‘Ready or Not,’ and ‘Riddles and Rhymes.’ Paula invited fellow Texan and friend Carolyn Wonderland to sing and play guitar on, ‘Drink.’
“Bill Mack and Dallas Wayne have been playing cuts from the album on their shows on Willie’s Place on Sirius/XM radio, and they report the response has been great and people keep asking for more.
Paula and her band will be performing at Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic, and her new cd will be available for sale there at the Back Yard. Also, you will be able to purchase it soon from www.cdbaby.com. You will love this album!
Paula has put up the lyrics to all her songs at her website at www.PaulaNelsonBand.com, and you can see what a poet she is. Lots of pictures, videos, tour information and more at the site.

Hi Linda,
I was one of those privileged to attend the Folk Uke, Reflectacles, Willie concert in Maui last weekend.
Sure, we noticed his lovely locks were shorn, but most of us were too busy revelling in the incredible company of the man, and his talented offspring’s music.
I suppose quite a few of the folks at the concert were actually spell-bound. I certainly was after I spotted Kris Kristofferson in the control booth drinking a beer and laughing with Willie, just like they did in the Highwaymen days.
Kris seemed to particularly enjoy Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson’s witty Folk Uke performance, despite their insistence on pointing out how often they “mess up”. Eventually the crowd looked forward to these instances and broke out into a cheer for the gals when they had one of these brief but charming interruptions.
The reflectacles blew the spectacles off the crowd with their original music and engaging performance, so when Willie showed up with a new hairdo, it was not the highlight of the evening.
Regards, Shelly
Thanks, Shelly, for the stories and the pictures.

“The Reflectacles are my new favorite band. I was so impressed with their talent, energy, songs, and lack of ego. Their album will be out in a few days.
Also they will be performing at the 4th of July Picnic this year, at The Backyard in Austin. So will we, and Paula too, and Dad and so on. : )”
