Willie Nelson is eternal.
For his 89th birthday, Willie is releasing a whole new album featuring 5 new songs he wrote with collaborator Buddy Cannon.
Are you ready for this? It’s Willie’s 98th studio album according to Wikipedia. If you see him, ask him what number 47 was. I’ll bet he knows!
“A Beautiful Time” comes on Friday,April 29th. Amazing. It also includes covers of Leonard Cohen’s “Tower of Song” and The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends.”
Produced by Willie’s longtime musical collaborator Buddy Cannon, “A Beautiful Time” is “a fully-realized new studio album” showcasing Willie and Trigger (his signature guitar) playing with musicians including Jim “Moose” Brown (B-3 organ, Wurlitzer), Fred Elringham (drums), Barry Bales (upright bass), Bob Terry (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, steel guitar), James Mitchell (electric guitar) and the patented harmonic stylings of Mickey Raphael. Melonie Cannon sings backup on five of the album’s tracks.
