Geboren in Abbott, opgegroeid in Fort Worth en ontdekt toen hij in de twintig was. De inmiddels 77-jarige countrylegende geeft nog concerten en maakt nog steeds albums.
Het nummer waarmee hij beroemd werd:
Enkele bekende nummers van hem:
Verder is Texas in my Soul een prachtig album, waarvan de meeste nummers helaas niet op Youtube te vinden zijn:
1. Dallas
2. San Antonio
3. Streets of Laredo
4. Who Put All My Ex's in Texas
5. The Hill Country Theme
6. Waltz Across Texas
7. Travis Letter
8. Remember the Alamo
9. Texas In My Soul
10. There's a Little Bit of Everything in Texas
11. Beautiful Texas
Het album is wel op andere plekken te vinden, als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel.
Ik vind het jammer dat Willie Nelson in Nederland enkel bekend staat met de nummers Always On My Mind en To All The Girls I've Loved before. Dat zijn in mijn ogen zijn slechtste nummers. Ik houd niet zo van zijn zoete stijl met zo'n koor op de achtergrond. Geef mij maar de rauwe Willie met enkel een gitaar en mondharmonica, dat kan ik veel meer waarderen.

Outlaw countryquote:Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard to Release “Django & Jimmie” Album
Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard are pairing up once again. This was the one nugget of important information squeezed between pot jokes when Willie Nelson made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday evening (3-21) as part of South by Southwest (SXSW) festivities in Austin, TX. It won’t be the first time the two country music legends have released an album together, and it may not be the last.
Willie and Merle most famously paired up when they released the album Pancho & Lefty in 1983. The title track written by Townes Van Zandt became a #1 hit, and so did the album. The duo released another album together in 1987 called Seashores of Old Mexico, and were joined by Ray Price for the 2007 album Last of the Breed.

The first of Willie Nelson‘s upcoming shows with Merle Haggard on the Django and Jimmie Tour have been called off, as the “On the Road Again” singer is reportedly unwell.
“I have no additional details but it is only the first three dates,” a rep for Nelson says. “The rest of the tour is on schedule.”
Further information comes from the Florence Civic Center, where the duo was scheduled to kick off the tour on Thursday (Oct. 15). That show has since been been rescheduled for April 6, 2016.
“This is all news to us at the moment and we’re still getting details on Willie’s medical concern. We’ve been told this is not life-threatening, but will require several weeks to fully recover,” Nick Hooker, Senior Marketing Manager for the venue, says. “We will keep you updated as more information comes to light.”
Shows in Roanke, Va., at the Berglund Center Coliseum (Oct. 16) and Reading, Penn., at Santander Arena have also been affected.

God's Problem Child is an upcoming album by singer-songwriter Willie Nelson, to be released in April 28, 2017. The album will feature new songs co-written by Nelson and producer Buddy Cannon. Using their frequent method, Cannon and Nelson wrote the songs exchanging the lyrics in text messages, while Nelson later recorded his vocals in the studio.
The title track was written by Jamey Johnson and Tony Joe White, and features vocals by Leon Russell in one of his last recordings. The original "I'm Not Dead" refers to the recurrent hoaxes announcing Nelson's death. "Delete and Fast-Forward", describing Nelson's view on the 2016 United States elections. The release will also include a song written by Cannon's mother. It also includes "He Won't Ever Be Gone", a tribute to Merle Haggard written by Gary Nicholson. The songs written by Nelson and Cannon sum up seven tracks of the album. Besides of traditional music retailers, the release was also made available for pre-order on the website PledgeMusic along with promotional merchandise.
Willie Nelson heeft opnieuw een aantal shows afgezegd vanwege ziekte. De 83-jarige countryzanger heeft een streep gezet door de concerten die maandag, dinsdag en woensdag gepland stonden in Bakersfield.

Eigenlijk was Willie Nelson vooral een songwriter en flopte hij een beetje als zanger tot hij begin jaren '70 beroemd werd met de outlaw country beweging.

Hij blijft productief; iets waar ik sowieso al enorm veel respect voor heb bij iemand van 83, maar hij heeft ook nog steeds een aangenaam stemgeluid. Bij mensen op die leeftijd heb je soms dat ze nauwelijks nog wat anders dan sonore bromtonen kunnen uitbrengen, maar Nelson heeft nog steeds een frisse, heldere zangstem.
Topshowsquote:Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Jason Isbell Set for Outlaw Music Festival Tour
Nelson will headline all shows, with Dylan, Isbell, Sheryl Crow, My Morning Jacket, the Avett Brothers and other artists on various dates
Willie Nelson is assembling a genre-defying roster of artists for a new summer package tour. The Outlaw Music Festival Tour will kick off July 1st in New Orleans with Sheryl Crow, the Avett Brothers and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real. Bob Dylan, Jason Isbell, My Morning Jacket, Margo Price, Hayes Carll, and Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats will appear on select dates of the six-city run. Additional shows and artists are forthcoming.
The tour, which emphasizes local food and craft beer, was born from last September's Outlaw Music Festival, a daylong concert held in Scranton, Pennsylvania. After the New Orleans debut, the expanded festival will hit Dallas; Rogers, Arkansas; Detroit; Milwaukee; and Syracuse, New York. (See the full artist lineup for each date below.)
Nelson, a tireless road act, is gearing up for a busy few months. He'll release his new album God's Problem Child on April 28th, play the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, the day after, and headline a four-night stand at the Fillmore in San Francisco in May. The Country Music Hall of Fame member honored his late friend Merle Haggard during an all-star concert in Nashville on April 6th, and previewed God's Problem Child during an intimate SiriusXM Q&A session, during which he addressed online rumors of his death. "Everyone is always so happy to see me," he joked.

Country icon covers Hank Williams, sings with sons Lukas and Micah on forthcoming LP 'Willie Nelson and the Boys'
Willie Nelson will shine a spotlight on his sons Lukas and Micah with the October 20th release of Willie Nelson and the Boys, the second installment in the archival recording series, Willie's Stash. Curated by the Country Music Hall of Fame legend the Willie's Stash recordings represent decades of Nelson's live performance and studio work. This volume of songs focuses on country-music standards, including seven penned by Hank Williams.
The new LP follows in the tradition of 2014's December Day, which featured the "Crazy" songwriter's sister Bobbie, a longtime member of his touring Family band. Material for Willie Nelson and the Boys (Willie's Stash, Vol. 2), was mainly laid down during the 2011 sessions for Heroes, the iconic performer's debut for the Legacy label. Grammy winner Buddy Cannon, Nelson's close friend and collaborator for decades, produced the collection, which was recorded by Steve Chadie at Pedernales Recordings Studio in Nelson's hometown of Austin, Texas.
Nelson's most recent LP God's Problem Child debuted at Number One on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. Since signing with Legacy Recordings in 2012, Nelson has sold more than one million albums for the label. Willie Nelson and the Boys marks his tenth Legacy release.
Willie Nelson and the Boys (Willie's Stash Vol. 2) track listing (and songwriters):
1. "Move It On Over" (Hank Williams)
2. "Mind Your Own Business" (Hank Williams)
3. "Healing Hands of Time" (Willie Nelson)
4. "Can I Sleep In Your Arms" (Hank Cochran)
5. "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On" (Hank Locklin)
6. "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (Hank Williams Sr.)
7. "I'm Movin' On" (Hank Snow)
8. "Your Cheatin' Heart" (Hank Williams)
