I love . He seems like a wonderful man who has lived a full life and had a full career and been through some ups and downs and kept on trucking. That's why I'm here today with Willie Nelson's Top 10, by the numbers.
Does Willie have the greatest singing voice in country music? No. Is he one of my favourite songwriters from his generation? Yes. Can I hear and feel the emotion in his singing, whether it's a song he wrote or is covering? Also yes.
Note: If you ever come across Willie's book, My Life, It's a Long Story - grab it. You won't regret it.
Willie Nelson, born in 1933, releasing music since 1956, and still going in 2021, this man is a living legend.
Thank God for Willie.
As always, this list started with the Popular section on Willie's Spotify page. From there we went to YouTube and searched for official videos to go with the songs (or others). Then, we do the math, add everything up, sort 'em all out, and voila - Wille Nelson's Top 10 - by the numbers.
Please enjoy his solo work, the collaborations with his old friends, and his daughter Paula Nelson, too.
Ready? Let's go!
