At a time when Don Was was still being heralded for the resurrection of Bonnie Raitt's career, he was brought in to helm Willie Nelson's 1993 release ACROSS THE BORDERLINE. The results were spectacular (despite less-than-stellar sales figures) and even included a Raitt/Nelson duet on "Getting Over You." As was the case so many times in the past, Nelson's choice of material wandered all over the map, once again reflecting the Red Headed Stranger's assertation that a good song is a good song whether it's a country one or not. Thus, he duetted with Sinead O'Connor on Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up," had Mose Allison play piano on Willie Dixon's "I Love The Life I Live" and recorded Paul Simon's "Graceland" and "American Tune," with the author providing guitar accompaniment. Other notable songwriters whose material is given the Nelson treatment are John Hiatt ("[The] Most Unoriginal Sin"), Lyle Lovett ("Farther Down The Line," "If I WereThe Man You Wanted") and Bob Dylan ("What Was It You Wanted.") Nelson and Zim even duet on their co-written "Heartland" a song overflowing with images of foreclosed farms and shattered dreams.
