Willie Nelson/Mickey Newbury and the Rainbow Connection WILLIE NELSON's, newest CD, RAINBOW CONNECTION, (Island Records) should bring about a few "sweet memories" for fellow Texan and long-time friend, MICKEY NEWBURY. "Rainbow Connection" features two of Newbury's songs, JUST DROPPED IN (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) and THE 33RD OF AUGUST.
Release Date June 12th			Newbury penned one of Nelson's earlier hits, SWEET MEMORIES. When Newbury was asked what he thought of Nelson's treatment of two of his vintage songs there was a long pause then Newbury dead-panned, "Not bad. For a hillbilly singer." "Now be sure you tell him I said that," Newbury said with a delighted chuckle, then he talked with great enthusiasm about how he was completely blown away by Nelson's arrangement, saying Nelson had managed to put a totally new twist on both songs. Newbury admitted that "Just Dropped In" had never been one of his own personal favorites among the songs he's written. Nelson has given him a new appreciation for the song. "A truly great artist can take a bad song and make it sound good through creative interpretation," Newbury explained. "Roy Orbison, could do that, and Ray Charles and a few others do it. This what Willie has done. He has completely reinterpreted "Just Dropped In." "This is how I will be singing it in the future," Newbury concluded.
Newbury is a recording artist in his own right. Newbury's most recent CD releases are STORIES FROM THE SILVER MOON CAFE and FRISCO MABEL JOY (Mountain Retreat Label.) Scheduled for late summer release is, THE LONG ROAD HOME, a very biographical and introspective look at the singer/songwriter. THE LONG ROAD HOME will be almost all new songs, most written in the last year or so. One from years ago will be re-done. You can read more about Mickey on his website see link below.
