Willie Nelson selected one of his songs, "Me and Paul," on the Me and Paul album in 1985 as his contribution to Hempilation 2: Free the Weed (A Benefit for NORML) in 1998. A concert staple, the Hempilation 2 version of "Me and Paul" was recorded live in Amsterdam in 1998.

It's about Willie's stony adventures with drummer Paul English. "For the whole 40 years I've been duckin' and dodgin', so I felt like this was the song that should go on there," Willie said at the time. "It's been nip and tuck all the way with the crazy laws against the things that we like to do."

Now 87, Willie's a longtime member of NORML's advisory board. English passed away in 2020. He was 87.

The musicians on "Me and Paul" include:
Willie Nelson - vocals, guitar
Bobbie Nelson - piano, vocals
Mickey Raphael - harmonica
Paul English - drums

Hempilation 2: Free the Weed (A Benefit for NORML) was produced by Steve Bloom for High Times, Eric Steenstra for NORML and Philip Walden for Capricorn Records in 1998. The album sold more than 50,000 copies. Hempilation: Freedom Is NORML was released in 1995.
