Overview
Curating the most notorious, illuminating interviews from an American icon isn't easy. Willie Nelson's words can be found everywhere: TV, radio, movies, and on the many musical recordings he is responsible for over a decades-long career. Nelson, the last surviving member of the Highwaymen, has outlasted most of his generation of outlaw country musicians. And he is still releasing albums--and featuring on tracks with current superstars such as Beyoncé. Nelson is an American institution. This collection reveals the icon as a complex and contradictory man, elusive at times, revealing at others. Willie Nelson on Willie Nelson is a collection of interviews that illuminates him not only as a musician, but as an actor, writer, political and animal-rights activist, drug advocate, and environmentalist. These interviews with Nelson, many of them unseen for decades, range from the early 1970s until 2020 and tie together with connective stories tethering a biographical timeline and compositional history of his most-beloved songs and albums. They reveal not only the life and work of Nelson, but also a bevy of committed journalists, some of them amateur, whom Nelson welcomed, one and all, to share his sometimes-radical worldview on an adoring public. Willie Nelson on Willie Nelson is the definitive source for anyone wanting to authentically encounter the legend in print.
