Inspirational Quotes by Willie Nelson (American Country Musician)

Willie Hugh Nelson (b.1933) is an American songwriter and guitarist. He is one of the most popular country music singers of the late 20th century.

Born in Abbott, Texas, Nelson began performing at the age of ten and was a disc jockey for a time, but his initial success came as a songwriter in Nashville in the early 1960s. He continued to write and record throughout the decade but reached a watershed of personal and professional frustration in 1970 and returned to Texas.

Nelson’s progressive, outlaw country style found a new audience in Austin. He became a major star with albums like Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Waylon and Willie (1978; with singer Waylon Jennings,) expanding beyond country music by embracing both rock and jazz standards, but without losing his roots in the music.

Nelson launched his annual Farm Aid concerts in 1985 and continued to record and tour prolifically. His publications include Willie: An Autobiography (1988,) The Tao of Willie: A Guide to the Happiness in Your Heart (2006,) On the Clean Road Again (2007,) It’s a Long Story: My Life, Little, Brown, and Company (2015,) and Pretty Paper (2016.)
