Today in awful - Willie Nelson covers Coldplay

This is a real thing, it exists. And it's horrible. Poor Willie has been pitch corrected to all hell... There is so much processing on his voice it might as well be one of those robotic screen readers. You may know that I'm not the biggest Coldplay fan in the world either, which doesn't help this compound mess.

Who thought this was a good idea?

Yecch.

Part of the guy's appeal is his folksy, natural talents. If you listen to "On the Road Again", you can hear the charm in his voice. This cover smooths out all the edges and completely neuters what made Mr. Nelson so interesting in the first place.

Zero stars.
