"I've got this song that begs to be a book and a book that begs to read like a song - a long, romping ballad of sweetness and scandal bridging seven decades of friendship …" Immortalized in Willie Nelson's road song "Me and Paul," Paul English was the towering figure who, for seventy years, acted as Willie's drummer, bodyguard, accountant, partner in crime, and right-hand man. Together, the two men roamed the country, putting on shows, getting into scrapes, raising money for good causes, and bringing the joy of their music to fans worldwide. Willie and Paul's misadventures became legendary, but many of their stories have never been shared-until now. Set against the backdrop of the exploding Americana music scene and told in Willie's inimitable, colorful style, Me and Paul follows the two performers through their decades-long careers and incomparable relationship.
