Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson runs through American music like a road with no shoulder: Nashville songwriter, elegant outlaw from polished country, crooner of standards, partner of kings and ghosts. Since the 1960s, his crooked phrasing and his guitar Trigger have turned defeat, humor and resistance into a national language. From Red Headed Stranger to the late albums, he has made endurance a form of rebellion.
