I enjoyed the great stories of Paul. There would never be Willie if not for Paul

A Beautiful tribute!

Funny and entertaining! I never get tired of hearing the stories about Willie and Paul in their grand adventures in life! Thank you for sharing them Willie!

Meant a great deal to me

Never been two greater friends! I have always been amazed by Willie’s commitment to those close to him. This book shows me that a great deal of that commitment came from Paul.

The authors passion!

Dig deep listen to Dan, I know him. He made me dig deep, and step out and achieve what I was born to do! When I thought I was done. The bottom line is, Challenge your self! You are worth the life you are given! So roar! Old dogs can still run, it’s your Mind Set!

Great listening!

My husband really enjoyed this story of Paul and Willy’s lifelong friendship. Highly entertaining for anyone who likes good storytelling.

"We received our education..."

Too short because I want to hear more stories. Written with love and respect. Enjoyable and interesting.

Redneck Confessions

Willie Nelson’s Me and Paul is a must-read for any fan of outlaw country music. The book explores the lifelong friendship between Willie and his drummer, Paul English. It provides an insider’s look into the life and times of these larger than life musicians. Through their wild and often drug-induced antics of the 1960s and 1970s, the book officiates many of the stories surrounding their lives.

Me and Paul is a phenomenal read that delves deep into the heart of the friendship between the two men. It recounts how Paul drove Willie to raw perfection and never let him give in to the commercialization of Nashville. Instead, Paul always reminded Willie of his west Texas roots and the Western swing music that he loved. It was this support that helped Willie to create the authentic sound that is still reflected in his music today.

The book is a lifelong biography of their friendship, which means that it explores both the happy and dark themes. It’s much like Willie’s previous book, Me and Sister Bobby. The general theme relies not on Willie's success, but on how, without the family, he wouldn't have made it through it all. In short, Me and Paul is a phenomenal book that offers a rare glimpse into the life and times of these two iconic musicians.
