"I'm My Own Grandpa" is one of those songs that always leaves me scratching my head in confusion. You may need to have a piece of paper and pen handy to keep the family connections in the tune figured out. This song was a hit in the 1940s for Nashville comedy duo "Lonzo and Oscar."

"Rock Me To Sleep" is a lullaby-type song that is sung very well by one of the Nelson's children, Amy. There is talent that is being handed down in their Nelson genes.

"Playing Domino and Shooting Dice" is the type of classic country song that Willie does so well. This is the story of an old guitar picker who was caught cheating on his wife. By the time his wife was done beating the tar out of him, he was "Laid Out Underneath The Clover."

"I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" was a hit song for Kenny Rogers early in his music career. I love the very country twist that Willie gives this 1960s psychedelic tune.
