Willie Nelson - Last Leaf on the Tree Podcast 1

Micah Nelson details the journey that began when he was asked to produce and album for his father, Willie Nelson. The result is Last Leaf on the Tree, a melding of Willie's ageless voice and guitar, Micah's experimental touch, and collaborators Neil Young, Keith Richards (Rolling Stones), John Densmore (The Doors), Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd (The Flaming Lips), Daniel Lanois, and Willie's longtime band member Mickey Raphael. Producer: Paul Chuffo at Joyride Media. Host: Talia Schlanger (World Cafe / Q).

In this first episode, Willie and Micah share how their father son relationship spills over into their professional lives, on tour, and in the studio. Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards shares his reaction to Willie's cover of his solo track, "Robbed Blind." Flaming Lips members Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd add how Willie transformed their signature hit, "Do You Realize??" into something new that reminds them of when they first heard Johnny Cash sing "Hurt."
