S5 E8: Wade Bowen on Me and Paul

Published: March 20, 2024, 9:20 a.m.

This week, one of the brightest stars of the Texas Country/Red Dirt scene, singer-songwriter Wade Bowen, examines \u201cMe and Paul,\u201d Willie\u2019s 1971 chronicle of the road-warrior life he was sharing with his erstwhile partner in crime, drummer Paul English. It\u2019s a perfect song for Wade to get into, partly because, as he rightly points out, Willie was a progenitor of the circuit where he makes his living now, but also because of the setting for our visit: Wade zoomed in from his tour bus, which was broken down somewhere in Iowa on his way to a gig.
