Wow, unusual.  One time I had an eggroll but no sweet-and-sour sauce for dipping so I used some yellow mustard.  It was OK but the flavors were just not made for each other.  This song strikes me that same way.

I would never go so far as to say "white people can't do reggae" or even "white guys from Texas with a twang can't do reggae," but this track is irrefutable evidence that Willie Nelson can't do reggae.

I'm from Texas and I can remember when Willie didn't have 1,000 wrinkles and had a short crew cut singing his very first hit, "Hello Walls". 

To this day no one can screw-up the vocal smoothness of a song like Willlie Nelson.

I put Willie and Neil Young in the self-same, "Can someone buy me some voice lessons?" category.

Yeah, it took a second to adjust but then it wasn't too bad.

Still Is Still Moving to Me
With Willie Nelson

Still is still moving to me
I swim like a fish in the sea
All the time
But if that's what it takes to be free
I don't mind
Still is still moving to me
Still is still moving to me

And it's hard to explain how I feel
It won't go in words
But I know that it's real
I can be moving or I can be still
But still is still moving to me
Still is still moving to me

Never thought I'd give anything with Willie Nelson more than a 1. Big surprise. 6 from the Nottingham jury. Nice one, Toots.

Wow. Talk about combining the worst of both worlds. I've commented on how I had to reduce the number of 10 ratings I give because it leaves nothing extra for true "perfection." By inverse reasoning, I rate this a 2, since it is possible something worse could come along.

I think it's Willie's phrasing that makes this song. Remember, it's Toots (who I love) that covered Willie's song.

"Movie Stars"? Are you implying that Willie Nelson is a movie star? He is a country singer, not a movie star. He is like Madonna, first a singer that has done a few movies. ...but still I am not sure reggae is his forte'

Toots liked this song of Willie's and though its a bit of a "stoned" thought or idea who can blame him? I think its great.
