Willie Nelson in Best Superbowl Ads ever
Sunday, February 7th, 2010
Listening to Willie-isms, as given by the Willie Nelson Advice Doll, would lead a person to several kinds of financial disaster, if you’re to believe this ad from tax preparation company H&R Block.

I found it on ebay: Willie Nelson Superbowl Ad Doll
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
starting bid: $899.00
“This is one of only five Willie Nelson dolls made for use by Willie Nelson in the award-winning H&R Block Super Bowl Commercial. These dolls are each hand-made – and there are only five of them in the world.
As you can see in the photos, the doll is made to Willie’s specifications, from the leather vest to the trademark braids and red bandana. I’m also including an autographed bandana and autographed 8 x 10 photo that Willie gave me on the set. I managed the production of the commercial for H&R Block and was given one of the dolls as a keepsake.
He’s approx. 14″ tall and is slightly pliable – he’s not made for standing, but he does bend slightly at the waist and can be propped up against something.
The commercial and Willie’s performance received great reviews – this doll is a rare treasure.”

Favorite Willie Nelson ads: The Gap
Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Willie Nelson hasn’t done a lot of advertising work, but I enjoy what he has done. The Gap campaign was one of my favorites.
I was travelling somewhere, and saw one of the really big posters in a bus stop, behind glass. It was so cool, and made me smile. I’ll bet it made lots of people smile.
.
In 2006 Gap published a book featuring the artists who appeared in their ad compaign, with pictures from the photo shoots. (Why don’t I have a copy of this book, anyway?)
Willie is one of the five artists who contribute essays to the book.
