Willie Nelson appears on Beyonce‘s new country album, Cowboy Carter, not once, but multiple times — but their collaboration is not remotely what fans expected. The 90-year-old country icon appears on several tracks, not as a singer, but as a narrator of sorts, providing voiceovers that draw from his own roots as a Texas DJ. Nelson originally broke into country music as a disc jockey in Texas before he made his way to Nashville to become a top songwriter and, eventually, an artist in his own right. He appears on Beyonce’s much-anticipated Cowboy Carter on a track titled “Smoke Hour,” which, giv...

Thirty-seven years ago today, on Feb. 19, 1987, Willie Nelson‘s Red Headed Stranger film premiered in Austin, Texas. The movie, which also starred Morgan Fairchild and Katharine Ross, was based on Nelson’s 1975 album of the same name. In Red Headed Stranger, Nelson plays Rev. Julian Shay, who travels to Montana to preach, along with his wife, Raysha Shay (played by Fairchild). When his wife leaves him for another man, Julian Shay guns her down … and then tries to find redemption for his actions. William D. Wittliff wrote and directed Red Headed Stranger; he also co-produced the project with Ne...

No one will ever top Toby Keith‘s version of “Don’t Let the Old Man In,” but that doesn’t mean Willie Nelson‘s cover isn’t worth your time. The 90-year-old country icon recorded the song for his 2020 First Rose of Spring album, and at the time, one could make a case that his was more effective. Nelson’s time on Earth felt more precious then, whereas Keith was admittedly singing lyrics inspired by another octogenarian, Clint Eastwood.

To Willie Nelson, Toby Keith was more than a large-looming country hitmaker: He was a long-standing personal friend, too. Over the years, Keith and Nelson collaborated on multiple musical endeavors. Most notably, perhaps, was their Keith-led duet “Beer for My Horses,” which was a six-week No. 1 country hit in 2003. After news broke of Keith’s death on Monday (Feb. 5), Nelson paid tribute to his late friend with a short remembrance and a clip of one of their live performances on “Beer for My Horses.” “ ‘I’ve had a lot of fun singing with Toby. He’s one of us …'” Nelson notes in the caption of h...

Willie Nelson tried to take his own life "a couple of times". The 90-year-old singer recalled how he was "drinking more than ever" amid marital problems with his first wife, Martha Jewel Matthews, and financial woes and when he hit rock bottom, he even tried to get a car to run him over. Speaking on his new docuseries 'Willie Nelson and Family', he said: “She and I were fighting worse than ever, and I started drinking more than ever. "I would get drunk every night and go home with someone different every night. [I was] slowly self-destructing. I really didn’t care. “Back in my drinking days, I...
