Such is the depth of his repertoire that Willie Nelson had no trouble filling up two hours and 15 minutes on this July 1, 1976, broadcast from Dallas radio station KAFM-FM. With a little help from occasional guest vocalists Jody Payne and Bee Spears (both part of his band), as well as fellow outlaw David Allan Coe, he ran through material spanning the beginning of his career as a songwriter through his 1975 hit album Red Headed Stranger. In addition to the hits Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain and Good Hearted Woman, this includes his own interpretations of songs he wrote that were hits for others, such as Crazy and Funny How Time Slips Away, as well as covers of classics like Jambalaya, Truck Drivin' Man, and Goodnight, Irene. The broadcast is presented here in it's entirety, with digitally remastered sound and background notes.

As a songwriter and performer, Willie Nelson played a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Although he didn't become a star until the mid-'70s, Nelson spent the '60s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price ("Night Life"), Patsy Cline ("Crazy"), Faron Young ("Hello Walls"), and Billy Walker ("Funny How Time Slips Away"), as well as releasing a series of records on Liberty and RCA that earned him a small but devoted cult following.

Last Of The Breed is a 2007 collaboration album between country artists Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Ray Price. It is a double CD. released on the Lost Highway label.

Willie Nelson Un monument national. Un mythe. Sur sa terre d’Amérique, Willie Nelson est considéré de la sorte. Une icône dépassant le strict cadre de la country music dont il changea la face durant les années 60 et 70. Quand un certain Miles Davis compose un morceau qu’il baptise de votre nom, on peut parler de consécration, non ?Plus de huit décennies passées sur terre et le grand songwriter à la voix de canard, vieux barbu fumant pétard sur pétard, a été canonisé avant même de caner… C’est pourtant dans l’ombre que Willie Nelson fera ses armes, plume en main, pour servir la voix des autres. Pour Ray Price (Night Life), Patsy Cline (Crazy), Faron Young (Hello Walls), Billy Walker (Funny How Time Slips Away) et quelques légions d’autres, le Texan a composé des merveilles devenues des classiques du patrimoine nord-américain.

When Willie Nelson and album producer Daniel Lanois set out to create a cinematic-sounding album, Teatro, they took over a disused movie theatre in Oxnard, California, and pictured it's dusty glory on the cover art. Recorded as-live in situ amid the red velvet seats, Teatro sees Nelson working extensively with his frequent collaborator Emmylou Harris, who joins him for duets and on backing vocals. The other major player is Daniel Lanois, who produces the album, plays guitar and bass, took the cover photo and wrote one of the album's songs, "The Maker", a stunning performance with glacier-thick vibe. Reinvention is key on Teatro, with Nelson revisiting a number of songs he first wrote in the 1960s, including 1968's "I Just Can't Let You Say Goodbye" and 1962's "I've Just Destroyed the World" and "Three Days". Though the songs are familiar, the sounds aren't: Teatro found Nelson experimenting with rhythms and flavors as never before, from the Spanish-influenced "Darkness On The Face Of The Earth" to the double-drum-kit percussive groove of "My Own Peculiar Way". Originally released by Island Record in 1998, Teatro is issued here for the first time as a double disc set, including the original album plus 7 unreleased bonus tracks from the sessions.
