Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is an American country singer-songwriter, author, poet, actor and activist. He reached his greatest fame during the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, and remains iconic, especially in American popular culture.
Willie Nelson continues to tour and has performed in concerts. He also continues to record albums prolifically in new genres that embrace reggae, blues, jazz, folk, and popular music.
A few days ago (Monday) he performed for a sold out Circus here in Stockholm, this concert was very good and he once again could show he's most extravagant talents. It was a largely pretty straight forward greatest hits show where the band played the same Western swing rhythm and 77-year-old Willie doing well but nowadays not always so precise guitar playing. But this is still very good so with the right age, he for one can do exactly what he really wants. Tunes as "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain", "Always on My Mind" and "Nobody's Fault But Mine" was played among others. Some groups throw guitar picks, but not Willie he throws his bandanas in to the audience :)
There was a fan that had a custom made bike that was called "Trigger" i guess it was named after Willie guitar. The bike was well made, with Willie tune names on the mudguard, handmade saddle with his name on. Willie got really thrilled to see this so he signed the bike :)
Todays tune "Gravedigger" is a song by Dave Matthews here performed by Willie Nelson and it was released on Willies album "Moment of Forever" -2008.
