Willie Nelson Contest, Part II

**NOTE: This contest is now closed. Congratulations to all our winners. Stay tuned for more contests in the coming months!

Last week, we announced we were teaming up with the fine folks at Lost Highway Records to give out ten copies of Willie Nelson's new Lost Highway album on LP and scratch-n-sniff posters. We asked entrants to blog about Willie, five bloggers answered the call, and all of them are winners (Congratulatios!). But, now we have five more albums and posters to give away to five more lucky winners. So, those of you who may not be blog-inclined can drop a comment on this post with the answers to the following questions. Five random commenters will win, and winners will be announced on Monday, Aug. 17.

Here are your questions:

1) What is the name of Willie’s bus that is featured on the cover of Lost Highway?

2) Who wrote “You Don’t Know Me”?

3) Which song title from Lost Highway was also used as the title of a somewhat popular feature film in 2008?

4) What legendary country musician, who was once a roommate of Ray Price, made the song “Lost Highway” the classic country/western hit it is today?

5) Which Texas city resides near Mendocino County?

6) What's your favorite Willie Nelson song, and why?

6. Night Life: This song was an early work of Willie's and completely illuminates a road-worn fool, lost in love; which is still the wonderful persona he puts on today. This song is the staple of a true American.
