Mickey Raphael’s playing has been an essential element of the music of Willie Nelson and Family for more than 40 years. He’s also performed alongside some of the biggest names in music and has recorded on sessions for many of them. We talk about his open, organic approach to performing with Willie, his ever-expanding influences, his love road biking when he’s on the road, and the new Highwaymen collection he produced. http://serve.castfire.com/audio/2840623/2840623_2016-07-03-214423.128.mp3?ad_params=zones%3DPreroll%7Cstation_id%3D4558.mp3
