Willie Nelson Sings America
by Steve Opdyke
Category: Biography & Autobiography

For serious Willie fans, this is the definitive book on Willie Nelson, a 20th-cent. phenomenon who has changed the way we listen to and understand contemporary music. Opdyke has researched the uncanny musical life of "the Red-headed Stranger." As he dug deep in Willie's professional life, he gained the confidence and support of Willie and his agent-associate Mark Rothbaum. Opdyke spent many hours interviewing both so the book comes with their blessings. Covers the early recordings, the RCA albums and compilations, the Atlantic and Columbia years, the non-Columbia and post-Columbia recordings and film career, and the "guest" projects and tributes. Includes the complete Willie Nelson RCA Sessionography taken from the original RCA session logs. Illus.
