Show Notes

WILLIE NELSON GOES REGGAE!  Why would Willie do such a thing… I mean, besides the obvious botanical reason?  Does Willie know the differences between reggae, ska, and dancehall?  Does Willie even care?  Could Willie even be bothered to write some new material for this album?  When the record company that first suggested this idea went bankrupt, why did Willie’s next label resurrect the idea ten years later?  Who did play Bonaroo in 2005?  Is Jimmy Buffet cultural appropriation?  Did even the record producer realize that no one was going to make it to the end of this album?  All of this and more will be pondered on Detours & Outliers?
