I love Willie, not only is a an incredibly talented songwriter & artist, he also doesn't care about what people "want", he just does what he does.
Few artists can get away with that without losing popularity (and/or their recording contracts).
Bonus points for naming a reggae album "Countryman".
We need more people like him.

What will Willie do next??? I can't believe that no one has opened this one up for discussion yet; has anyone even viewed Jessica Simpson's new video that features Willie Nelson?
http://music.yahoo.com/ar-295687-videos--Jessica-Simpson
Click on the video for These Boots Are Made For Walking. I can't post a direct link, but my daughter called my attention to this video yesterday.
I say... whoa... Jessica is following suit with the Britney and Christina....

The cover art of Countryman, released Tuesday, features green marijuana leaves over a red and yellow background and looks similar to a large pack of rolling papers.
However, for those looking to snap up the CD at Wal-Mart's famously rolled back prices, the cover features a palm tree in place of the offending leaves, a change made by Universal Music Group Nashville out of deference to the retailing giant's strict guidelines with regards to lyrics and packaging.
"They're covering all the bases," Nelson commented to the AP.
I'd think Willie would say no to such an idea and just not let WM sell his album.
That's what I would do, forget 'em!

Alndln,
Did you, by any chance, load the video and watch it? Willie seems to be enjoying himself 
However, I think that Nancy Sinatra was much more convincing in the delivery of the song than what Jessica is.
Willie would probably have enjoyed Sinatra's presence every bit as much, if not more, that Simpson's.

),then it's announced that he's releasing a Reggae CD today(tues.).What's next for Willie? 
),it would take more than a stretch to imagine Willie invading the Teen Queen market.
