About this product

Product Information

Five decades in the music industry, 100 albums, 10 Grammys, the Kennedy Center Honors, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Add high-profile activism for the legalisation of marijuana, the foundation of a ground-breaking philanthropic organisation, and a much-publicised personal life - Willie Nelson's is a story like no other. Born during the great depression in 1933 and raised by his grandparents, he began singing in dance halls and Honky Tonks at the age of 13, as an escape from working as a cotton picker in the fields of Arkansas. He went on to write some of the most popular country songs of all time, and to record some classic versions of others, including Crazy, Bring Me Sunshine, Always on my Mind and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. An American icon who still tours extensively and headlines music festivals, Willie Nelson and his music have found their way into the hearts and minds of fans all over the world. Now 81 years of age, Nelson leaves no experience or moment unturned as he shares the full story. From his drive to write music to the women in his life; from his collaborations to his bankruptcy to the foundation of Farm Aid; Nelson shares, in his distinct voice, soaring highs and painful lows.

  • I couldn't put it own.

    I have been a fan of Willie Nelson for decades and was fortunate to watch The Highway Men in Birmingham UK some years ago when a friend of a friend was unable to go because of a bereavement in their family. It was an amazing show and what a gift? His music always touches my heart and I would often wonder why, was it just the timbre in his voice, the story of the song, or what? Willie's story and honest explanations of how he reached the deepest parts of his soul left me feeling nourished spiritually because he address's how he is able to sing and write his music. It was only by being on the road observing and digging deep into life with all it's chaos and shades, taking risk that he could put his feelings into words and music. I highly recommend his book if like me Willie's music touches your heart.
