Dennis Brown and John Holt: Wildfire

Dear Willie Nelson,
Wildfire by Dennis Brown and John Holt is one of the best reggae duets. Please consider singing it with Toots Hibbert or Snoop Lion, as both sound great singing with you.
Thank you.

Russian Red: Everyday Everynight

Dear Willie Nelson,
Russian Red is the stage name of Spanish singer-songwriter Lourdes Hernandez. I think her song Everyday Everynight would lend itself well to your phrasing and vocal style.
Thank you.

Lou Reed: Perfect Day

Dear Willie Nelson,
Please play Perfect Day by Lou Reed. It is a beautiful song with lots of room for Bobbie's piano work and Mickey's harmonica. I think it would sound great with your vocals. Your cover of Perfect Day is certain to be a classic.
Thank you.

Muddy Waters: Champagne & Reefer

Dear Willie Nelson,
Please play Muddy Waters' Champagne & Reefer. You always do a great job playing blues, and you have a well known penchant for reefer. Champagne and Reefer is a well written blues song about choosing to smoke grass over drinking alcohol. You would certainly be able to arrange a great version with your band.
Thank you.
