Merle Haggard was always a studio dynamo- from the pinging percussion on "Workin Man Blues" to the fade out on "Silver Wings." But old pal Willie Nelson lets Hags' songwriting speak for itself on this moving tribute. Peep my @undertheradar.bsky.social review www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/work...
Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle
It’s fun to hear Willie Nelson, of all people, sing the famous lyric: “We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee.”

The Lowdown on @fxnetworks.com is my favorite show of the year. Ethan Hawke plays salacious scribe Lee Raybon with glee yet grit, and Sterlin Harjo cements his TV auteur rep. 👀 my @undertheradar.bsky.social review: www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/the_...
The Lowdown
Harjo and Hawke have crackling chemistry, recalling dynamic duos on both sides of the camera like Hamm and Weiner, Cranston and Gillian, even Gandolfini and Chase.
