New striking strokes

19 March 2024

Imperishable, non-stop 90-year-old country music-maker WILLIE NELSON has
his 75th solo album (his 152nd overall, including collaborations, soundtracks, and
compilations) recorded. It’s named THE BORDER and is slated for release on May 31.
One month (29 April) following his 91st birthday.

Willie Nelson recorded the album with producer and longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon. It includes four new songs that they wrote together, as well as some new ones written by songwriters that Nelson admires, including Shawn Camp, Mike Reid, and Bobby Tomberlin.

On the other hand the first single and title track isn’t a new song. It’s one composed by Rodney Crowell, another Texan country veteran, first released five years ago. It’s a smooth, romantic musing, it’s Willie Nelson alright.

THE BORDER

No rest for Nelson.
