<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From his first performance at age four, Willie Nelson was driven to make music and live life on his own terms. But though he is a songwriter of exceptional depth - "Crazy" was one of his early classics - Willie only found success after abandoning Nashville and moving to Austin, Texas.</p><p><em>Red Headed Stranger</em> made country cool to a new generation of fans. <em>Wanted: The Outlaws</em> became the first country album to sell a million copies. And "On the Road Again" became the anthem for Americans on the move. A craggy-faced, pot-smoking philosopher, Willie Nelson is one of America's great iconoclasts and idols.</p><p>Now Joe Nick Patoski draws on over 100 interviews with Willie and his family, band, and friends to tell Nelson's story, from humble Depression-era roots, to his musical education in Texas honky-tonks and his flirtations with whiskey, women, and weed; from his triumph with #1 hit "Always On My Mind" to his nearly career-ending battles with debt and the IRS; and his ultimate redemption and ascension to American hero</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Joe Nick Patoski</b> is the author of the award-winning <i>Willie Nelson: An Epic Life</i> as well as biographies of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Selena.
