On every Willie record of late—he’s made ten in the last five years, the most recent being Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle, out last November—we search for signs. We look for clues of how he’s doing at 88, or 90, or, now, an extraordinary 93. How’s he feeling? What’s he going through day-to-day? We listen, after all these years, to discover: Can he still sing and play? Does he still have things to tell us about life, love, death—and whiskey?
