Pick of the week

A new feature of All In–a weekly recommendation for a new cd or book or movie…maybe more frequently if others pipe in.

My pick this week is Willie Nelson’s most recent release, COUNTRY MUSIC. It’s a terrific back-to-the-basics collection of tunes like “Dark as a Dungeon” and “Nobody’s Fault But Mine.” Produced by T-Bone Burnett with a collection of great musicians including Buddy Miller, Chris Sharp, Jim Lauderdale, and other topnotch studio players. It’s on the Rounder label, catalogue #3280.

Here’s Willie performing “Dark as a Dungeon” from Youtube.
