.GeorgeStrait led the Moody Center crowd in singing “Happy Birthday” to his fellow Texas icon WillieNelson.
Willie Nelson turned 45 on the day that I was born, which means, for score-keeping purposes, I have 364 days to become a singular American songwriter, record 23 albums, win two Grammys, play the premiere of a legendary music TV series, and smoke a supply of weed roughly the size of Rhode Island.
From the start of “Whiskey River,” the deluxe song-swap version of Nelson on hand for the night was intent on stretching and moving the songs in occasionally uncomfortable, discordant ways that also gave way to many moments of splendor. When the two came together briefly it captured how their distinct approaches to heartland song can not simply coexist, but elevate each other, with Nelson’s color and improvisation adding a weight to the precision and study of Strait and his band.
