When we named Phosphorescent’s Pride to our list of favorite 2007 releases, it was definitely for the originality of his output. Now, word from the Dead Oceans label is that the Pride follow up will be a collection of Willie Nelson covers, entitled To Willie.

As a huge fan of the Red Headed Stranger, I am pretty excited about its release on February, 3rd. “Houck’s swagger and confidence shines through like never before – on songs like “Reasons to Quit” and “I Gotta Get Drunk” Phosphorescent rumbles with a soulful groove that was a fixture of the live show, but was never touched upon in previous recordings. Recalling the finest moments of the late-’70s work of Waylon Jennings and Nelson himself, Phosphorescent has delivered a glorious hangover of an album. It is so much more than a collection of Willie Nelson cover songs–it is a full-blown new classic.”
