I grew up digging the 3 big versions of that song. The Allman’s, Greg’s hit, and then Willie’s hit a little later. But then was doing some Willie research not long before the Plague and listened apples2apples2apples…and wow. Willie laid claim to that song in a real way. He kills it, 4 reasons u list

"The Promiseland" was released in early 1986, and was another record where Nelson arranged several songs by other writers. A lot to like on this record, and it's also worth listening to because it closes with version of Bach's "Minuet in G" for some reason!? open.spotify.com/album/2WHSNS...

A most special OBW: Willie Nelson's longtime stage-lighting director Buddy "Budrock" Prewitt, a card-carrying member of the famous "Band of Gypsies," goes deep on "On the Road Again." It's 50 years' worth of surreal tales from the tour bus. Hear here: bit.ly/4gV2Xzq

The message in this song is perfect; I genuinely believe it's something you learn every single time you listen to Dolly Parton or Willie Nelson. I also love that their one hit together came on a song Dolly wrote.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
