Nelson wore a black leather cowboy hat, his long gray braid trailing out. He banged on an acoustic guitar that was so beat-up it seemed his fingers had worn off the body’s finish.

Opinion: Willie Nelson Interview, by David Freeland

24 May 2009 08:31:46 PDT

Written by LindaLee
“Crazy” was one of the songs that really built your reputation in Nashville. How did you feel when Patsy Cline cut it? I loved Ray Price’s “Night Life.” I liked Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Paper” Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.” Those stand out. Faron Young’s “Hello Walls.”

Naked Willie is due March 17. I know, the “Naked Willie” thought is a bit off-putting. But the album title refers to the music, not to Nelson’s body. This concept came from Willie’s longtime harmonica player, Mickey Raphael, who was listening to early Nelson tracks on RCA recorded in Nashvil...

Willie Nelson in South Bend (11/28/08) (review)

03 Dec 2008 06:32:51 PST

Written by LindaLee
Willie Nelson undoubtedly still has “it.” Maybe it is that he doesn’t have a big persona, maybe it’s that he still uses “Trigger,” his legendary and well used hole-where-a-pick-guard-should-be guitar, or maybe it is just that Willie Nelson is a living definition of “it.”
