Now aged 90, he has just released another album
When you think of the greats of country music, Willie Nelson will almost certainly be in most people’s top five. Incredibly, now aged 90, he has just released another album - his 98th in total since a 1962 debut with And Then I Wrote.
“I don’t drink as much as I used to. I still take a drink of tequila occasionally, but not like I used to.” 17. On The Road Again A motto the troubadour has clearly lived his life by, it’s reported he wrote it on the back of a sick bag whilst on a flight and perfectly captures the gypsylike lifestyle Nelson has had across the decades.
13. Ghost Riders In The Sky The original version of this makes it the oldest song on this list given it was first recorded in 1948 but it really took on a whole new lease of life - and arguably meaning - when Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash got together to record and release it in the late 70s. 8. Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground Written for a film called Honeysuckle Rose in which Nelson plays a struggling country singer, the man himself was far from down and out - quite the opposite as it became his seventh No 1 and spent 14 weeks on the country chart.
