Synopsis

Willie Nelson shares his life story in this "heartfelt" bestselling memoir of true love, wild times, best friends, and barrooms (Washington Post).
"Unvarnished. Funny. Leaving no stone unturned." . . . So say the publishers about this book I've written. What I say is that this is the story of my life, told as clear as a Texas sky and in the same rhythm that I lived it.

It's a story of restlessness and the purity of the moment and living right. Of my childhood in Abbott, Texas, to the Pacific Northwest, from Nashville to Hawaii and all the way back again. Of selling vacuum cleaners and encyclopedias while hosting radio shows and writing song after song, hoping to strike gold.

It's a story of true love, wild times, best friends, and barrooms, with a musical sound track ripping right through it. My life gets lived on the road, at home, and on the road again, tried and true, and I've written it all down from my heart to yours.

Signed, Willie Nelson.

About Willie Nelson

Country singer and songwriter Willie Nelson rose to prominence at the end of the 1960s and contributed to the "outlaw country" subgenre, which challenged the conservatism of Nashville's music industry. During his lengthy, award-winning career, he has written some of the most popular and memorable country songs of all time, many of which have been covered by a wide range of artists over the last half-century. Now in his 80s, Nelson continues to record, tour, and devote time to charitable and political causes.

Keith Richards Life is one, in part due to the fact that Richards' own distinctive voice is always there throughout the book. Willie Nelson also has one of the most distinctive voices out there, and that's what you'll......more

Goodreads review by Licha on September 01, 2015

I almost didn't think I was going to finish this. It started off strong, but really started dragging for me just waiting for Willie's career to start taking off. He seems to have hit his stride when he was much older, but the book doesn't go into too much detail. This is more like a memoir and not a......more

There’s a great story in the life and times of country crooner, Willie Nelson. After all, in this rebel’s 82 years there have been wild fights, habitual drug use/ heavy drinking and extensive infidelity; as well as writing some of the most beloved and enduring songs in music history. Unfortunately t......more
