later penned the Patsy Cline standard Crazy, Faron Young's Hello Walls, Billy Walker's Funny How Time Slips Away all hitting the
Top 40 charts. This
musical icon's career has helped shape the sound of
country music. Throughout the 1960's, he recorded a series of minor hits, leading to his outlaw
country image in the early 70's. In the mid-70's, Willie reached superstar status when he released the cross-over hit single Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain . Making his jump to the big screen, he recorded his signature song On The Road Again for the film Honeysuckle Rose. The next few decades teamed him up with many diverse partners including--fellow
country outlaw, Waylon Jennings; Latino pop star, Julio Iglesias; The Highwaymen, Waylon, Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash; Electric Horseman, Robert Redford; fellow Farm Aid founders, Neil Young and John Mellencamp; and of course, the IRS. With over
100 albums, months and months of touring, year after year, Willie Nelson has crossed all cultural and socio-economic lines. Recorded in October 2003, at a two-month's-ahead-sold-out-show, Willie Nelson Live At Billy Bob's Texas. Here's your ticket.
