I always loved Willie Nelson, but I loved the songs that Willie made famous.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Willie Nelson is the perfect person, it seems to me, to think about. Because something tells me that he operates on his own frequency.
It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John. I guess when I was really young I didn't like Willie Nelson, and she obviously loved him. Now I do too, I'm so thankful to her for playing his music nonstop.
I don't have a favorite song that I've written. But I do have a favorite song: 'Always on My Mind,' the Willie Nelson version. If I could sing it like he do, I would sing it every night. I like the story it tells.
I've always liked acoustic blues. I liked Bob Dylan a lot.
Willie Nelson is not just a star or a headliner, he's a legend.
My love was Bob Dylan, but as I got older I realized a good ballad was a good ballad.
I've always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix.
I've been a fan of old country music, like Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline. I think I'm drawn to it because of the sense of sadness and sort of loss that a lot of good old country music has.
I have many favorite artists... Van Gogh as one, but he didn't really sing a lot!
Frank Sinatra was a great singer, but my favourite is Sammy Davis Jr. He had incredible versatility in his voice, often doing impressions of people. It's always going to be classic, and you'll never get bored listening.
