Outlaw country legend Willie Nelson celebrates his 84th birthday today. Just yesterday Willie released a new studio album God’s Problem Child further adding to his already outstanding recording career. With his trusty acoustic Martin guitar “Trigger” in hand, Nelson continues to light up stages around the world
To celebrate Willie’s birthday, Saturday Stream presents a Spotify Playlist made up of a collection of career-spanning recordings featuring Nelson performing live throughout the past 50 years. The set includes solo and Willie Nelson & Family recordings, as well as many collaborations with fellow talented musicians such as Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Carole King, Wynton Marsalis, Norah Jones, Al Green, Jack Johnson, Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper, Jerry Jeff Walker, Chris Stapleton and others. There are also tracks featuring The Highwayman supergroup of Nelson alongside Cash, Waylon Jennings /strong> and Kris Kristofferson.
The 60-song playlist begins with cuts from Willie’s pre-Trigger, 1966 Country Music Concert live album that was recorded during a show at Panther Hall in Fort Worth, Texas on July 5, 1966. The career-spanning set ends with Willie leading an all-star ensemble at the 2015 Outlaw: Celebrating The Music Of Waylon Jennings concert at ACL Live At The The Moody Theater in Austin, Texas.
