Nelson, Hag go up in smoke on 420
Based in Texas swing, hooks and sing-a-long lyrics about an emerging 21st century cannabis culture, "It's All Going to Pot" offers a first taste of "Django and Jimmie," due later this spring.
"It's All Going to Pot" was co-written by Buddy Cannon, producer of the album.
The music video for "It's All Going to Pot" captures the free-spirited in-the-studio atmosphere of the three and band laying down the song. "Willie sang like he was a teenager," said Haggard after the "Django and Jimmie" sessions.
The disc is Nelson's sixth for Legacy since inking a 2012 deal.
Nelson and Haggard previously released "Pancho & Lefty," a honky-tonk hit in January 1983. They also recorded 1987's "Seashores Of Old Mexico" album, 2007's double album "Last Of The Breed" with Ray Price, the Merle Haggard-penned "A Horse Called Music" (the lead track on 2012's "Heroes," Nelson's first album for Legacy.
