Willie Nelson & Family August 26, 2008

"If ever the words "living legend" were more than just public relations bluster, the application would be to Willie Nelson. The iconic Texan is the creative genius behind historic recordings like "Crazy," "Hello Walls," "Red Headed Stranger," and "Stardust." His career has spanned six decades. His catalog boasts more than 200 albums. He's earned every conceivable award and honor that can be bestowed to a person in his profession. And he has also amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor and activist.

In many ways, however, the weighty distinction "living legend" does Willie Nelson a disservice, for it discounts the extent to which he is a thriving, relevant and progressive musical force. Also, he has established himself as a top television ratings draw. Most importantly, the music of Willie Nelson is as adventurous as ever - mixing sounds and styles, bending genre boundaries and engendering the talents of today's most vibrant artists.

As ever, he tours tirelessly, climbing aboard Honeysuckle Rose III (he rode his first two buses into the ground) and takes his music and his fans on a seemingly endless journey to places that were well worth the ride."
