Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

What is the Songbook?

The “Great American Songbook” is the canon of the most important and influential American popular songs and jazz standards from the early 20th century that have stood the test of time in their life and legacy. Often referred to as "American Standards," the songs published during the Golden Age of this genre include those popular and enduring tunes from the 1920s to the 1960s that were created for Broadway theatre, musical theatre, and Hollywood musical film.

The Golden Age

The Songbook Today

The Golden Age of the Great American Songbook

The times in which much of this music was written were tumultuous ones for a rapidly growing and changing America. The music of the Great American Songbook offered hope of better days during the Great Depression, built morale during two world wars, helped build social bridges within our culture, and whistled beside us during unprecedented economic growth. We defended our country, raised families, and built a nation while singing these songs.

There are a number of recognizable singers who are noted as prominent contributors to the Songbook genre. Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astaire, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Judy Garland, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Al Jolson, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Margaret Whiting, and Andy Williams are widely recognized for their performances and recordings which defined the genre. This is by no means an exhaustive list; there are countless others who are widely recognized for their performances of music from the Great American Songbook.

The Great American Songbook genre has emerged within the last hundred years, so there is not yet widespread consensus on exactly what falls under its heading. Several scholars have completed significant research into the genre, and have helped to shape the definition of the Great American Songbook. Alec Wilder's American Popular Song: The Great Innovators, 1900–1950, lists and ranks the artists he believes belong to the Great American Songbook canon. Wilder suggests that the Great American Songbook era ended in 1950; others maintain that its end coincided with the dramatic increase in the popularity of rock & roll music in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The Great American Songbook Today

Over the past several decades, the music of the Great American Songbook has enjoyed a renaissance as a wide variety of singers have taken up these songs and breathed new life into them. Ringo Starr’s 1970 album Sentimental Journey , Willie Nelson’s Stardust in 1978, Linda Ronstadt’s What’s New in 1983 and Natalie Cole’s 1991 Unforgettable… with Love have introduced the beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics to new generations. Singers including Harry Connick, Jr., Michael Bublé and Diana Krall have been noted as prominent interpreters of the Songbook throughout their careers. Michael Feinstein in particular has been a dedicated proponent of the music of the Great American Songbook since he began working as Ira Gershwin’s archivist in the late 1970s.

The music of the Great American Songbook continues to find new audiences; over the past twenty years, a diverse array of artists including Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Sting, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Pat Benatar, Rufus Wainwright, Paul McCartney, and Annie Lennox have released popular albums of Songbook standards. In 2014, the highly celebrated crooner Tony Bennett partnered with Lady Gaga for Cheek To Cheek , a highly successful album of American standards that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, reached the top ten in The United Kingdom, Greece, Japan, Australia and Canada, and earned a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. In 2021, the duo released Bennett's final album, Love For Sale , a compilation album of Cole Porter's greatest songs.

While the historical era in which the Great American Songbook was born has definitely ended, there are still songs being written today which demonstrate the quintessential characteristics of “America’s classical music” and are therefore considered part of the Songbook canon. These include Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Barry Manilow, Henry Mancini, Ann Hampton Callaway, and a variety of other gifted lyricists/composers.

Willie Nelson Announces His Upcoming 75th Album 'The Border' and Releases Rodney Crowell Cover

'The Border' is set for release on May 31

It's funny how time slips away — and Willie Nelson continues to surprise fans with new music.

On Thursday, the country music star announced the release of his 75th studio album, The Border, on May 31.

In light of the exciting announcement, Nelson, 90, also shared the first single and title track on the album, which is a cover of Rodney Cowell's 2019 song from his album Texas .

The Border will include 10 tracks, four of which were co-written by Nelson and longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon. The album is available for preorder here .

The Border will follow Nelson's recent EP Bluegrass , which dropped in September 2023.

The album announcement arrived the same day that Nelson is set to host his Luck Reunion at his Texas ranch with performances by Tyler Childers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Madi Diaz and John Oates.

This summer, the "Riders in the Sky" singer will be on the road again for his annual Outlaw Music Festival Tour with  Family band ,  Bob Dylan ,  Robert Plant & Allison Krause  and  John Mellencamp .

On select shows, country star  Brittney Spencer , soul singer  Celisse  and five-piece Memphis band  Southern Avenue , as well as Bluegrass artist  Billy Strings  will join the festival.

This year’s Outlaw Music Festival kicks off on June 21 in Alpharetta, Georgia, and continues throughout the summer before wrapping up on Sept. 17 in Buffalo, New York.

“This year's Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists. I am thrilled to get back on the road again with my family and friends playing the music we love for the fans we love," the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said in a press release.

Last April, Nelson  celebrated his milestone 90th birthday , he opened up to PEOPLE about his commitment to staying out on the road.

"I get a lot of fun out of playing for an audience," he said. "There's a great energy exchange there. It's what keeps me going."
