@okaywitheasypay Yes, Nora Jones and Allison Russell sang "Seven Spanish Angels."  It was the second number on the show. I am not familiar with either of them, but they sang it well.

Great fun to watch this show. Another case for living well with marijuana.

I am also a gigantic Willie Nelson fan. Anyone out there see the film "Honeysuckle Rose"? Does he sing,"Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain" in that film?


@Group 5 minus 1  just watched that again last month, good movie with a lot of good Willie  songs throughout !

didnt sing "blue eyes crying in the rain".

Many years ago, before Willie was famous, I went to a George Jones concert.  Willie was the opening act.  George was too drunk to perform so it turned into a Willie Nelson concert!  It was fantastic and everyone was thrilled to death!

 

I just googled the special and it was on CBS so should be streaming on Paramount+ now.  There's also a four episode docu-series streaming too.


@kze "  No show Jones" !   Turned out great though as Willie was able to then perform !  I'm certain the audience was thrilled to have him on stage .
