Info for Pancho & Lefty

This duet between two of country music's biggest contrarians includes four Willie Nelson originals and one by his partner, Merle Haggard. But the most notable inclusion is Townes Van Zandt's title track, the story of two outlaws at the end of the line, which became the album's signature hit in 1983. In addition to their remarkable interpretations of the album's contemporary songs, Nelson and Haggard's weathered voices are ideally suited to their more vintage material, including California country music pioneer Stuart Hamblen's 'My Mary,' and two Texas Playboys covers, 'Still Water Runs the Deepest' and 'My Life's Been a Pleasure.' The album's relaxed feel is enhanced by its being done at Nelson's own Pedernales studio outside Austin.

'It's a sunny collection of songs that benefited from beautifully produced, piano-filled arrangements...' (Dirty Linen)
