This duet between two of country music`s biggest contrarians includes four Willie Nelson originals and one by his partner, Merle Haggard. But the most notable inclusion is Townes Van Zandt`s title track, the story of two outlaws at the end of the line, which became the album`s signature hit in 1983. In addition to their remarkable interpretations of the album`s contemporary songs, Nelson and Haggard`s weathered voices are ideally suited to their more vintage material, including California country music pioneer Stuart Hamblen`s "My Mary," and two Texas Playboys covers, "Still Water Runs the Deepest" and "My Life`s Been a Pleasure." The album`s relaxed feel is enhanced by its being done at Nelson`s own Pedernales studio outside Austin.
