    Nelson still plays Trigger. .... Willie's technique varies 'twixt hard blues and laid-back swing. This novel approach is a perfect description for both Nelson and Hagard's personal interpretation of how they perform country music. [Jan 2026, p.83]

    While Workin' Man also marks the final studio contributions of Nelson's pianist sister Bobbie and drummer Paul English, the mood is very much celebratory. [Review of the Year 2025, p.27]

    Maximalist fans might miss the razzle dazzle. But Merle Haggard would certainly be moved by this intimate, off the floor sounding tribute, because it sounds like pals jamming.
