Willie Nelson - Last Leaf on the Tree Podcast 3

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 and songwriters from both of their generations. Producer: Paul Chuffo at Joyride Media. Host: Talia Schlanger (World Cafe / Q).

Willie's longtime harmonica player, Mickey Raphael, opens episode 3 with how he came to suggest Warren Zevon's "Keep Me in Your Heart" for the project. Micah adds how he and his dad wrote "Color of Sound" together, and also how he brought in his own original song, "Wheels."
