Willie Nelson & Family
The outlaw country patriarch with his longtime touring band: 'On the Road Again', 'Whiskey River' and Trigger, the battered nylon-string guitar that is half the sound.

About Willie Nelson & Family
Willie Nelson was raised in Abbott, Texas, and first made his name in Nashville as a songwriter, writing 'Crazy' for Patsy Cline along with 'Night Life' and 'Funny How Time Slips Away' for other singers. After moving back to Texas in the early 1970s he settled in Austin and made 'Red Headed Stranger', a sparse concept album that, together with the 'Wanted! The Outlaws' compilation with Waylon Jennings, put outlaw country on the map.
The Family is his long-serving road band. His sister Bobbie Nelson played piano beside him for decades, and harmonica player Mickey Raphael has been part of the lineup since the early 1970s. Shows run song to song with little pause, built around Nelson's behind-the-beat phrasing and his jazz-inflected lead playing.
