Description
Arguably the most important figure in country
music Willie Nelson is set to release his next
studio album, which is a tribute to one of his

best friends and long-time musical fellow-
travelers Merle Haggard. It features Willie

doing 11 Hag classics including “Mama Tried”,
“Okie From Muskogee” and “I Think I’ll Just Stay
here And Drink” and also features the final
recordings that Willie did with longtime band
members Sister Bobbie and Paul English.
The album coincides with a new documentary
on Merle Haggard co-directed by Ethan
Hawke that will debut at the Telluride Film
Festival in late August, which features Willie as
a main talking head. For which a wider release
is TBC.
Undoubtedly, the most prolific musician today,
this release is set to be Willie’s 155th album
according to Texas Monthly! And alongside his
album drops – which have amassed over 3.3B
all time streams – Willie recently appeared on
‘Cowboy Carter’ and was praised by Beyoncé
as “The Great Willie! You are the coolest!” The
latest release from The Great Willie is available
from Friday 07th November on CD and LP.
