Kacey Musgraves is teaming up again with Willie Nelson on her new album “Middle of Nowhere”, which is out Friday – and the session was pure Willie.
He walked in, nailed his part in one take, and joked he had “30 seconds” before he was out.
The song is called “Uncertain, TX” – Kacey calls him, quote, “everyone’s favorite gangster great grandpa” and the, quote, “patriarch of truth [and] country music”.
It’s their third collab—and proof the legend’s still got it.

George Strait surprised fans Saturday night by bringing out Miranda Lambert for a duet of “She’ll Leave You With A Smile.”
He invited her after she performed at his Kennedy Center Honors, and Miranda says it didn’t take long to say yes—because, as she put it, you don’t turn down a chance to sing with King George.
Luke Combs is rewriting the record books again—he’s the only solo artist ever to hold the top two spots on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, and now he’s done it on the U.S. Country Radio chart too.
And over the weekend, he packed Ohio Stadium with more than 97,000 fans—breaking a record that stood since Pink Floyd set it back in 1994.
Tom Hanks surprised fans over the weekend at Stagecoach, showing up to support his son Chet Hanks as he performed with his band Something Out West.
Fans say Hanks was friendly and gracious, stopping for photos after the show.
He’s also appeared in his son’s music video “You Better Run,” which nods to his classic film Forrest Gump.
