About
The story goes that Willie Nelson was in the studio with Merle Haggard—recording what eventually would become the duo’s 1983 album <i>Pancho & Lefty</i>—when producer Chips Moman played them an old song titled “Always on My Mind.” Both Elvis Presley and Brenda Lee had recorded their own versions of the tune in the 1970, but neither had ever been more than a footnote. As it turned out, one of the song’s co-writer, Johnny Christopher, was playing on the <i>Pancho</i> session, and he auditioned “Always on My Mind“ for the singers in the studio. Haggard passed. But Nelson said, <i>Hey, let’s try it</i>. .
