This is followed by a new swinger, “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die,” written by Nelson himself along with a gaggle of his cohorts. It’s a great song, and here he is joined by Merle Haggard for one hell of a duet. The album opens with a new take on the Wayne Carson composition “A Horse Called Music,” the title song of 1989 Nelson album. But then it’s Willie Nelson, what else would you expect. In Heroes, Nelson, his sons, and a friend or two have put together a compilation of some things old and some things new and produced themselves one great album. If he had said it about the album as a whole, he would have been right as well.
At the very end of an absolutely swinging version of the 1943 roots gem “Home in San Antone” on Willie Nelson’s new album, Heroes, you can hear the singer add, “that’s a great track.” He’s right, it is a great track.
