Y’ALL. It’s a really good day to be a Willie Nelson fan.
Truly, every day is a good day to be a Willie Nelson fan, but today especially.
We’ll get into it, but first, a message from our in-house Willie expert, @sponglr, who helped put all of these Willie projects together.
You heard the man. Our full Willie Nelson special issue is online now. Head to http://TexasMonthly.com/Willie ">https://TexasMonthly.com/Willie&qu... for stories about Willie’s singular stature as a songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and, oddly, landlord. https://www.texasmonthly.com/willie-nelson/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Web%20Social&utm_content=WillieCollections">https://www.texasmonthly.com/willie-ne...
We& #39;ve been covering the man and the music since 1973, so we& #39;re also sharing archival stories, like this one about Willie& #39;s defiance of Nashville. https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/bringing-it-all-back-home/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Archive%20Social&utm_content=BringingItAllBackHome">https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-cultu...
We’re also launching our new One By Willie podcast, a series of intimate conversations with the artists you love and the Willie songs that mean the most to them. Listen to episode one here: https://txmnth.ly/3j4SLUG ">https://txmnth.ly/3j4SLUG&q...
We’re kicking things off with Grammy-winning artist @MissMargoPrice. In episode one, she explores the difference between between writing a sad song and feeling the need to just sit and listen to one. https://www.texasmonthly.com/podcast/one-by-willie-episode-1-margo-price-on-angel-flying-too-close-to-the-ground/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Web%20Social&utm_content=OneByWillieEpOne">https://www.texasmonthly.com/podcast/o...
If you need more Willie in your earbuds, we’ve created a little playlist of the songs that will be discussed on this season of One By Willie.
