Willie Nelson – Live From Austin, TX (2-LP Black Vinyl)

On black vinyl, Live From Austin TX captures Willie Nelson returning to the stage he helped create—the outlaw country architect performing for Austin City Limits, the PBS series his historic 1974 pilot episode launched into television history. This New West Records archival release preserves "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," "Whiskey River," "On the Road Again," and the nylon-string guitar tone that remains as distinctive as any sound in American music.

When Willie taped ACL's pilot in 1974, he was proving that Austin's cosmic cowboy scene deserved national attention. The show's success launched both the series and Willie's mainstream breakthrough with "Red Headed Stranger." This recording captures the circle completed: the man who started it all returning to deliver the songs that became American standards. Willie's voice, weathered but undiminished, carries generations of experience; his guitar, Trigger, worn through decades of playing, still sings with unique clarity.
