Country music deity Willie Nelson is about to release a new album called Heroes, and we’ve already posted his Pearl Jam and Coldplay covers. And for reasons that might have something to do with today’s date, he’s chosen this day to let the world hear another track from the LP, this one entitled “Roll Me Up.” The song includes a pretty notable lineup of talent: legendary Willie peer and fellow Highwayman Kris Kristofferson (who will always be Whistler from Blade to me), outlaw-country heir apparent Jamey Johnson, and — a surprise, but then again, not that much of a surprise — Snoop Dogg. This isn’t the first time Snoop and Willie have crossed paths, and Snoop, admirably, doesn’t rap on the track, instead singing in a craggy croon that makes him an oddly apt fit with the others. The end result is the stuff of Toby Keith’s nightmares. Stream it at Willie’s website.

Marijuana is the safest drug with actual benefits for the user as opposed to alcohol which is dangerous, causes addiction, birth defects, and affects literally every organ in the body. Groups are organizing all over the country to speak their minds on reforming pot laws. I drew up a very cool poster featuring Uncle Willie Nelson and The Teapot Party for the cause which you can check out on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/vote-teapot-2011.html Drop in and let me know what you think!
