Nelson was backed by a supergroup of acclaimed, in-demand musicians for a performance of “I Never Cared For You.”
“I Never Cared For You” was penned by Nelson and released by the legendary outlaw country star as a single in 1964. The song is one of 22 Nelson classics from throughout his six-decade career included on a new Greatest Hits collection due out tomorrow.
