ONE HELL OF A RIDE
For the truly multi-dimensional Willie Nelson – singer, songwriter, Gypsy jazz guitarist, producer, bandleader, family man, perennially touring musician, Hollywood actor, entrepreneur, rancher, golfer, proud Texan, and godfather of music’s Outlaw Country movement – it has really been ONE HELL OF A RIDE. Shotgun Willie, has been making music over the course of eight distinct decades – from the 1930s to the ’00s – and has been a recording artist for more than five of those decades.
For the first time, the appropriately titled box set ONE HELL OF A RIDE draws together the entire span of Willie’s recording career. This 4-disc compendium spans over 50 years of recordings and features 100 songs comprised of original hits, covers, duets, live performances, and rarities taken from 60 albums recorded on a dozen different labels. Also included is a full color 100-page book with dozens of never-before seen photographs, full discography and an introduction by Willie’s longtime harp player, Mickey Raphael and liner notes by Hill Country scribe Joe Nick Patoski
HEROES
Willie Nelson delivers his first new album, Heroes, as part of his homecoming to
Legacy Recordings. No themes or gimmicks to this album, just 14 brand new recordings
produced by Buddy Cannon. Scheduled for release on May 15th, the songs take on a reflective, emotional tone and move from heartfelt (a stunning rendition of Pearl Jam’s “Just Breathe”) to humor (on “Roll Me Up” with guest vocalist Snoop Dogg). Other guest vocalists on the album include Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Jamey Johnson, Billy Joe Shaver and Sheryl Crow. Sons Lukas and Micah Nelson also feature prominently, making this a real family affair.
