One of America's most iconic musicians and public figures, Willie Nelson has penned a series of heartfelt letters and essays about the country and the people he loves. These personal notes, funny stories, and inspiring insights are a rollicking ride and an intimate look at the creative spirit and wit of a true American legend. Digging deep into his life and his vast music catalog, Willie's most personal book ever is written to lift us up in difficult times, to make us laugh, and to remind us of the endless promise and continuous obligations of all Americans. Like Willie Nelson himself, his letters are an American classic. From a small town in Texas to international acclaim as a singer and songwriter, actor and activist, gambler and joker, Willie Nelson's career has topped the worlds of country and popular music with frequent forays in film, television, and literature. He has been honored with thirteen Grammy Awards, the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize, and the Kennedy Center Honors. His populist activism has supported environmental and Native American causes, legalization of cannabis, and America's Family Farmers. Book jacket.
