Are you two stoner buddies?

Like, do you get in that really stash?

You know, I'm always saying Hide that, Willie, don't take a picture.

Yeah, and what am I doing?

That's what he does.

He have the best open?

Well, I would think so.

I don't think so.

But you know what?

He is really a great person.

Hired to a great lady.

And I was just with his son Lucas Nelson last week.

Wow.

You and Loretta Lynn have been buddies for a long time.

You came and surprised her when she was on.

Your show is on.

This is so exciting.

How is she doing these days?

She's doing really good.

Uh, you know, she, uh she calls me and we talk all the time.

Person.

She's my best friend.

Dolly.

You were featured on Romeo in 93.

What's Thio collaborate with her. 00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:1.690 It was so great that she would even ask me to do something. 00:01:1.950 --> 00:01:5.050 But I you know, you want to collaborate on Dolly with anything. 00:01:5.060 --> 00:01:6.750 I mean, I've got a lot of ideas for her. 00:01:7.020 --> 00:01:11.100 The judge you performed at the same Super Bowl in 94.

How nutty or the judge?

In real life?

Complicated, complex, complicated.

There's a lot going on there, but some great vocal timber.

And there's no other sound like the two of them together.

Johnny Cash.

What was your fondest memory or interaction with Johnny Cash?

Well, I think the first Farm aid, um, I heard you.

And, you know, everybody is a star there.

Yeah, there's a star.

And I looked acid.

Merle Haggard son said, I think Johnny Cash wants to talk to you.

And I looked around and there he was, and it was like, the parting of the Red Sea, you know?

We walked toward me.

Yeah, and then I pitched him a song, You know, You did?

Yeah.

What did he say?

It was going well, he said, sing a little bit of it to me, and I didn't think you'd say that, but it was because it was just an idea, but I did. 00:01:56.740 --> 00:02:0.040 I said, That's what makes a man in black still singing the blues. 00:02:0.220 --> 00:02:1.530 I loved it. 00:02:1.530 --> 00:02:4.040 He wanted it when they I got back to Nashville. 00:02:4.040 --> 00:02:5.670 Rode home with Neil Young on his bus. 00:02:6.650 --> 00:02:7.960 My dad, I don't know. 00:02:7.970 --> 00:02:9.050 But I got back to Nashville. 00:02:9.050 --> 00:02:9.500 The next day. 00:02:9.500 --> 00:02:14.920 I got a call from Marty Stuart and Johnny wants you almost took that song, and it's just on idea.

Well, he did he finally eat.

It was an idea.

And Billy Joe Shaver went down to Tucson and finished.

That's the best way to get somebody like Johnny Cash.

To cut one of your songs is to have him finish it.

I did, Thank you very much, you, Tucker.
