A first-time collaboration between two American icons, Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis discover common ground in their love of jazz standards and the blues on this sparkling set that brims with spontaneity, congeniality and fun. Two Men with the Blues is now available on Blue Note Records.

“These songs, heard this way with this group that’s never been done before. Whatever I’m doing, if you put Wynton and these guys around it, that brings it up to a different level.” -Willie Nelson
