Willie Nelson & Ben Harper - Midnight Rider


This is part of the television concert "Outlaws and Angels" which was also released as an album in 2004.
This clip features performances from Willie Nelson with: Ben Harper, Lee Ann Womack, Toby Keith, and Merle Haggard.
I really love the first performance of this clip which is Willie Nelson with Ben Harper playing the song "Midnight Rider". Ben Harper delivers an amazing piece of lap steel guitar playing. I really love the sound of that slide playing, it's great.
The song "Midnight Rider" was originally done by The Allman Brothers Band. The song is off the band's 1970 album "Idlewild South". The song was written by Gregg Allman and Richard Payne. It has become a fixture in the band's live performances, and renditions by Joe Cocker, Gregg Allman himself, and Willie Nelson have all reached the charts as singles.
I really love this performance, it's really good, and again that slide playing, man that just sounds so good.

Enjoy ; )
