There’s no doubt, Willie Nelson is one of the greatest to ever do it. At 90 years old, he’s released 150 albums, and he’s not done yet. This September, Willie will release album #151, his first ever Bluegrass album.
Appropriately titled Bluegrass, the Buddy Cannon-produced project features twelve reimagined self-penned tracks recorded with an all-star ensemble of musicians, including Union Station band member and mandolinist Dan Tyminski and harmonica master Mickey Raphael. Cannon, his daughter, Melonie Cannon and Wyatt Beard also provide backing vocals on the record.
Nelson is giving fans a first taste of what’s to come from Bluegrass with his new version of the lonesome tune “You Left Me a Long, Long Time Ago.”
