"It's hard to talk about Willie without saying something stupid or irrelevant, he is so much of everything. How can you make sense of him? How would you define the indefinable or the unfathomable? What is there to say? Ancient Viking Soul? Master Builder of the Impossible? Patron poet of people who never quite fit in and don't much care to? Moonshine Philosopher? Tumbleweed singer with a PhD? Red Bandana troubadour, braids like twin ropes lassoing eternity?"
"Personally speaking I've always known him to be kind, generous, tolerant and understanding of human feebleness, a benefactor, a father and a friend. He's like the invisible air. He's high and low. He's in harmony with nature. And that's what makes him Willie."
Willie Nelson continues his prolific recording career with Dream Chaser, his 156th studio album, set to release May 29 through Legacy Records. The album marks a collaboration with Bob Dylan, who co-writes a track on the project. This represents another addition to Nelson's remarkable output of releasing at least one album annually since his 1962 debut. Dylan and Nelson have previously worked together, including on the 1993 song "Heartland" from Nelson's album Across the Borderline. Dylan's recent reflections on Nelson highlight the artist's profound impact and multifaceted nature as a musician and human being.
