Willie Nelson and his band

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Here’s a new album that’s as pure as any Willie Nelson album ever made.   Produced by Willie at his Texas studio, using Willie’s own road band, it’s like a Willie Nelson concert — with studio perfect sound.

Willie Nelson’s, ‘Old Whiskey River’ Bourbon

Old Whiskey River 

Bourbon

Old Whiskey River BourbonWhiskey River was made especially for an American original, Willie Nelson. So we wanted to get his input every step of the way. From the brand name to the label and most importantly, what’s inside the bottle. We sent samples to him while he was touring on the road to get his thumbs-up on the different batches until we finally came up with a bourbon that he’d put his name on, one that he calls smooth, sweet and mellow.
Old Whiskey River Bourbon

Small-Batch Bourbon the way Willie Nelson likes it: Smooth, Sweet and Mellow. Inspired by Willie Nelson’s 1978 hit song, Old Whiskey River is an 86 proof small-batch bourbon, aged six years in new charred American oak barrels. The bourbon is handcrafted to Willie’s taste by Parker and Craig Beam, the 7th and 8th generation master distillers at Heaven Hill, in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky.

Oh happy day! Ben & Jerry are presenting us with a whole new flavor to drool over. Yes folks, today marks the street date for Willie Nelson’s Country Peach Cobbler (peach ice cream with cinnamon sugar shortbread pieces). With the new creation, Willie joins the ranks of progressive pop culture icons Jerry Garcia, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Wavy Gravy and, most recently, Stephen Colbert, all of whom have been awarded their very own tailor-made ice cream flavors.

The question on hardcore ice cream enthusiasts’ minds (besides “where’s a spoon?”) is: Do Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield (the founding fathers of the Vermont-based ice cream empire) actually decide who’s worthy of a flavor themselves? And perhaps more importantly, who determines that Jerry Garcia’s namesake batch consists of cherries and fudge flakes while Wavy Gravy’s concoction is caramel, cashew and Brazil nut ice cream? When you think of Trey Anastasio, is chocolate ice cream with “gooey” marshmallow, caramel and fudge really what comes to mind? We took it upon ourselves to find out the answers to these probing questions so that you could spend less time pondering them and more time eating Peach Cobbler while rocking out to “I Gotta Get Drunk.”

We talked to Sean Greenwood, a spokesperson at Ben & Jerry’s corporate offices in South Burlington, Vermont, who told us that artists are deemed flavor-worthy on the basis of their humanitarian efforts. (more…)

The New Willie Nelson Album

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The new Willie Nelson album could get you to Texas.

Now, how can a record album convey someone like you all the way to the Lone Tree State?  Well, in the past three years 230,000 people have trooped to the Annual Willie Nelson Picnic in Texas to listen to Willie Nelson and enjoy the festival of stars who join him. 

And all across the country, more and more people like yourself are enjoying the new wave of music Willie is leading.  The music establishment has recognized Willie’s importance, awarding him a grammy for ‘Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,’ the million seller from Willie’s gold album, ‘The Redheaded Stranger’ that defied classification, with airplay on top 40 FM and country music and sale to every kind of music lover imaginable. 

Now, there’s a new album from Willie Nelson, ‘The Sound in Your Mind.’  If you haven’t already picked up on Willie’s pure, beautiful voice, his telling lyrics, and the unaffected beauty and simplicity of his music, ‘The Sound of Your Mind’ is a perfect introduction.  It features, ‘I’d Have to be Crazy,’ ’That Lucky Old Sun,’ as well as Willie’s classic versions of his own great tunes,   ’Crazy,’ ‘Night Life,’ and ‘Funny How Time Slips Away.’

About that trip to Texas — watch the papers for more information about the Willie Nelson Fourth of July Picnic.  And when you’ve listened to Willie Nelson, don’t be surprised if you find yourself in Texas in July. 

‘The Sound in Your Mind.’  The new Willie Nelson album.  Only on Columbia Records and tapes.

Willie Nelson’s got wit, warmth and wow

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Ad thanks to www.stumptownblogger.typepad.com. Bill Youngson and Craig Adams

Why he’s your cottin’ pickin’, snuff dippin’, tobacco chewin’, stump-jumpin’, gravy soppin’, coffee-pot-dodgin’, dumplin-eatin’, frog-giggin’, hillbilly from Hill County, Texas.

Willie Nelson just rode in to take over his own show on KVAN… an this young fella fits right in, here at the station with the sense of humor. See that pan-handled description up there? Them’s his very own words! Willie’s got wit, warmth and wow, and once you hear ‘Western Express’, you’ll agree.

He’s no newcomer to radio, though. Been entertaining folks since he was sweet 15…. and for the past 3 1/2 years he’s been a big name in Forth Worth on station KCNC. But now he’s moved ‘kit and kaboodle’ to Portland. An you know what? He likes rain!

You’ll like him. An you’ll get your “enjoys” listening to Texas Willie Nelson on “Western Express”, 2:30 to 3:30 Monday through Saturday on KVAN.
