Willie Nelson showed interest and promise in music at a young age. After being gifted a guitar by his grandpa at age six, Willie wrote his first song at age seven. He continued to be involved in music throughout his youth, singing in dance halls and honky-tonks to earn money.
Though talented and hardworking, Willie had trouble finding success at first as a recording artist. But Willie persisted as a songwriter. His popularity soared when he moved to Austin, Texas, in the 1970s and played his own style of country music known as outlaw country. He released iconic albums like Shotgun Willie, Red Headed Stranger, and Stardust, and became known for hit singles including 'Crazy,' 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,' and 'On the Road Again.'
Since then, Willie has released countless more popular albums and singles, solidifying him as a country legend. Not only that, he is a businessman, author, and activist - showing support to American farmers through his farm aid fundraising concerts.
Learn the fascinating story of how Willie Nelson has become a beloved American songwriter, well-known activist, and the country superstar we all know and love today.
David Stabler is the author of several books, including Kid Scientists: True Tales of Childhood from Science Superstars and Who Is Dale Earnhardt Jr.? He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
