Music & Concerts, New Releases, Willie Nelson

Look out, it’s an outlaw! Oh wait, it’s just Willie Nelson at it again. While you may not be a fan (his music certainly isn’t for everyone), you undoubtedly can answer the question “Who’s that old hippie guy with the braids that sings country music?” without hesitation. Love him or hate him, there’s no denying his fame. It is no surprise to those that know of him that this old timer just won’t quit. Ol’ Willie’s done a bit of everything and worked with everyone, from Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings to Toby Keith and Mike Meyers. With hundreds of songs reaching the tops of all authoritative charts, it is actually hard to find a Willie Nelson song unworthy of a country fan’s time.

His newest album, Willie and The Wheel, is no different. Teaming up with Asleep At the Wheel seems to have been a good plan. Their blend of country and swing music make this a quick favorite among fans old and young.
