Sister Bobbie on ‘Tonight’ tomorrow
Bobbie Nelson gets top billing over brother Willie to promote her debut “solo” album “Audiobiography” on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” which airs Wednesday at 10:35 p.m. on NBC KXAN Channel 36. The album is bookended with a pair of new Willie Nelson compositions, which the brother and sister, whose ages add to 150, plan to perform one tonight. In case you missed our recent profile of Sister Bobbie here it is.
Other guests on “The Tonight Show”tomorrow include Tom Selleck and Carlos Mencia.
The Nelson siblings were also supposed to be on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” this morning, but that appearance was pushed back a couple weeks so Bobbie could focus on “The Tonight Show.” Her son Freddy Fletcher said doing two nationally televised talk shows two days in a row was a bit much for his shy Mom, not used to the spotlight. “She’d rather spread them out every two weeks,” he said. An upcoming apprance on “Oprah” is also a possibility down the road.

The song Bobbie and Willie played on the Tonight Show last night was “Back To Earth” from Bobbie’s new album “Audiobiography.” Personally, I thought the performance was incredible. 70 years of musical communication on display. So classy! I wish Bobbie and Willie would do an entire duo show at some place like the Paramount. That’s also a DVD I’d buy.

I agree, the performance was outstanding. Willie and Bobbie, both playing so well. What a beautiful song.
