Willie Nelson might as well drop the word EURoeagainEUR from his signature hit EURoeOn the Road Again.EUR At the age of 79, the country icon rarely takes a break from touring and making music with his friends. In support of his latest album, Heroes, his highest charting record in more than 30 years, Nelson and his EURoefamilyEUR of literal and musical kin rouse the Alabama Theatre with a sweet hootenanny of country classics.
Before he was an American treasure, Nelson made his name as a songwriter, crafting country standards such as EURoeHello WallsEUR for Faron Young and EURoeCrazyEUR for Patsy Cline. Then, as the early EUR~70s brought about a revolution in country music, he released his classic outlaw album, Shotgun Willie, and his major breakthrough, Red Headed Stranger. Since then, generations have swayed to EURoeBlue Eyes Crying in the RainEUR as Nelson became a friend to everyone within earshot. His talent and affability led to countless hit collaborations, from the chilling EURoePancho and LeftyEUR with Merle Haggard to duets with Julio Iglesias and Ray Charles, and a solo moment in EURoeWe Are the World.EUR The latest album even contains a jaunty ode to NelsonEUR(TM)s best-known pastime entitled EURoeRoll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die,EUR recorded with country legend Snoop Dogg.
Willie Nelson concerts have a magical way of unifying broad spectrums of audiences. When immersed in NelsonEUR(TM)s inimitable voice, lived-in grin, and songbook of crossover classics, a wild fan base of cowboys, hippies, bikers, and sheriffs somehow shed their differences and sing along. With his family band, which often includes big sister Bobbie on piano and longtime pal Paul EURoeThe DevilEUR English on drums, Nelson enchants with songs that fans know by heart and also courts ears with a handful of new gems. Despite having played thousands of times throughout the decades, Willie Nelson has never played a song the same way twice. As he finger picks at Trigger, his eternally trusty six-string, his puzzling menagerie of techniques turns every solo into a jazz painting of Django Reinhardt and Bob Wills waltzing across Texas.
