Mar 13, 2025

The legendary Willie Nelson is back with another album, his staggering 154th, titled "Oh What A Beautiful World." Set to drop this April, the album showcases Nelson's enduring passion for music and his impeccable taste.

This time around, Nelson is diving deep into the songbook of fellow Texas icon Rodney Crowell. Expect a collection of gems spanning Crowell's prolific career, including tunes that have graced the catalogs of Jerry Jeff Walker and Bob Seger. Nelson, a self-proclaimed Crowell admirer, brings his signature outlaw twang to these well-loved tracks.

The title track, a duet with Crowell himself, is already making waves. Originally featured on Crowell's 2014 album "Tarpaper," the new rendition retains its heartfelt core, but Nelson's unmistakable vocals add a layer of rustic charm. As Nelson puts it, "It's always a pleasure to sing with Rodney."  You can hear the song here.

With tracks like "Forty Miles From Nowhere" and "Shame On The Moon" filling out the tracklist, "Oh What A Beautiful World" promises to be a delightful blend of classic songwriting and Nelson's timeless artistry. 

Mark your calendars for April 25th, when this latest masterpiece hits shelves, courtesy of Sony Music.
