Lyrics:
Pass me that joint it’s Willie’s birthday
Wipe away all of your tears
Well the worlds gone crazy
But we still got Willie and all the good things he’s done for us here
It was 75 the time of the preacher
when the red headed stranger appeared
Rode into town blue eyes a shining
And his memories measure in tears
Hey Nashville, Hey Austin
He’s singing the songs we hold dear
Now for all of these years
Pass me that joint it’s Willie’s birthday
Wipe away all of your tears
Well the worlds gone crazy
But we still got Willie and all the good things he’s done for us here
Now shotgun Willie wades through whiskey rivers
Living in the promise land
His heroes are cowboys and the songs there a singing
Bring joy and laughter again
Hey Georgia, New Orleans
This songs for your native son and all that he’s done
Pass me that joint it’s Willie’s birthday
Wipe away all of your tears
Well the worlds gone crazy
But we still got Willie and all the good things he’s done for us here
Pass me that joint it’s Willie’s birthday
Wipe away all of your tears
Well the worlds gone crazy
But we still got Willie and all the good things he’s done for us here

Willie Nelson on Austin City Limits
Saturday, May 2nd, 2020www.faroutmagazine.co.uk
by: Joe Taysom
Willie Nelson celebrates his 87th birthday April 30thth so Austin City Limits have shared rare footage of him appearing on their show all the way back in 1976.
Nelson’s wonderful appearance was recorded on October 4th, 1976, and saw the singer accompanied by his family band for a performance of 1975’s Red Headed Stranger from front to back. The episode originally aired as the first episode of Austin City Limits’ second season in 1977 some months after it’s recording and was Nelson’s second appearance on the show after he performed during the pilot episode.
Viewers are encouraged to donate to Farm Aid and it is available to watch now on YouTube following it’s premiere at 4:20 CT yesterday. The timing of the steam is obviously no coincidence, to celebrate 4:20 earlier this month, Nelson hosted a 4-hour-and-20-minute stream which, obviously, will be taking place at 4:20pm, will broadcast via Luck Reunion’s Twitch account in association with Nelson’s Willie Reserve cannabis line.
Nelson, longtime associated with cannabis culture and advocate for the legalisation of marijuana, established his of his own marijuana brand, Willie’s Reserve, the moment weed was legalised in different states across America. “I wouldn’t be alive. It saved my life, really,” he once told Rolling Stone about the impacts of pot. “I wouldn’t have lived 85 years if I’d have kept drinking and smoking like I was when I was 30, 40 years old. I think that weed kept me from wanting to kill people. And probably kept a lot of people from wanting to kill me, too — out there drunk, running around.”

Edie Brickell and Willie Nelson, “Sing to Me Willie”

You’d be hard-pressed to find a country artist or songwriter working today who hasn’t been personally affected by Willie Nelson’s music. In honor of the legendary outlaw’s 87th birthday, Edie Brickell has shared her own musical tribute, “Sing to Me, Willie.”
The song captures just how personal Brickell’s relationship is to Nelson’s work, right from the get-go: “We played your music at my daddy’s funeral/And the pastor was amused.” Nelson himself then joins Brickell in a duet, crooning about the untamed beauty of Texas. It’s a touching homage to Nelson, his home state, and his legacy of storytelling that artists like Brickell carry on.
“On Christmas Day, 2018, Willie asked me to write a song for us to sing together,” Brickell said. “What a gift! My father and Texas are my biggest connections to Willie. I never hear his voice without loving memories of people and places back home. If only my dad could have heard this song.”
“Sing to Me, Willie” was recorded at Arlyn Studios in Austin, and features members of Brickell’s band the New Bohemians, including John Bush (percussion), Brad Houser (bass), and Kenny Withrow (electric guitar), as well as Kyle Crusham on acoustic guitar and Matt Hubbard on keyboards. All proceeds from the song will benefit MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief Fund.

For the love of Willie — Happy Birthday!

It’s not often a person gets two birthdays. However, Willie Nelson, one of the most iconic and beloved singer-songwriters living today, is so good he’s worth celebrating twice. Yes, the Red Headed Stranger came into the world just before midnight on April 29, but the Hill County courthouse in Abbott, Texas failed to record his birth until the following morning. (Hey, things moved pretty slowly in 1933.) So we get two days to love on Willie! Well, this year, to kick off day one, High Plains Public Radio will be carrying a one-hour special called “For the Love of Willie,” at 11:00 am CT on Wednesday, April 29th.
To toast his 87 fabulous years, High Plains Morning will dedicate the final hour to one of the legends of country music. Join John Spong and Willie Nelson biographer Joe Nick Patoski as they present you with some Willie songs you’ve probably never heard before, and others you might not have noticed. Among their playlist, you can hear songs like “Columbus Stockade Blues (#2),” “Dreaming Of A Little Cabin,” and “Nine Pound Hammer.” Produced by KUTX in Austin, in partnership with Texas Monthly, don’t miss “For the Love of Willie” on Wednesday at 11:00 am CT on High Plains Public Radio.
