Willie Nelson – First Rose Of Spring (CD)
Product Details
Few artists have earned the right to simply *be* themselves the way Willie Nelson has, and at 87, his phrasing remains one of the most distinctive and unhurried voices in American music. Recorded during a period when his contemporaries had long since quieted, this collection leans into the warmth of long friendships and the pleasure of a song well sung, qualities that have defined his approach since the outlaw country movement of the 1970s put him permanently beyond category.
A new studio album from the time-defying legend who has won Grammys for his last two albums (2019’s Ride Me Back Home just won Best Solo Country Performance and 2018’s My Way won Best Traditional Pop Album). While his last few albums have focused on facing the reality of mortality and crying or laughing in its face, this one is focused much more on celebrating the now and embracing life, love and friends & family. The album includes new songs written by Willie and long time producer Buddy Cannon combined with new songs written by Chris Stapleton and Toby Keith plus a handful of classic songs that Willie interprets his way, all performed with an amazing band of Nashville gunslingers.
