Publisher's Description
▼▲Discover the untold stories and unbreakable bond between country music icon Willie Nelson and his longtime drummer, Paul English.
Immortalized in Willie Nelsons road song "Me and Paul," Paul English was the towering figure who for 70 years acted as Willies drummer, bodyguard, accountant, partner in crime, and right-hand man.
Together, the two men roamed the country by:
- putting on shows, getting into a few scrapes,
- raising money for good causes,
- and bringing the joy of their music to fans worldwide.
Stories of Willie and Pauls misadventures became legendary, but many have gone untold--until now.
Set against the backdrop of the exploding Americana music scene and told in Willies inimitable, colorful style, Me and Paul follows the two performers through their decades-long careers.
Author Bio
▼▲Country singer and songwriter Willie Nelson rose to prominence at the end of the 1960s and contributed to the "outlaw country" subgenre, which challenged the conservatism of Nashville's music industry. During his lengthy, award-winning career, he has written some of the most popular and memorable country songs of all time, many of which have been covered by a wide range of artists over the last half-century. Now in his 80s, Nelson continues to record, tour, and devote time to charitable and political causes.
David Ritz, called the "first call celebrity collaborator" by the New York Times, recently wrote Willie Nelson's bestselling It's A Long Story. He has collaborated on memoirs with, among others, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and B. B. King. His books include Scott Stapp's Sinner's Creed; Nik Wallenda's Balance: A Story of Faith, Family, and Life on the Line; and Messengers: Portraits of African American Ministers, Evangelists, Gospel Singers, and Other Messengers of the Word. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
