Willie Nelson

More and more stars are being political on Twitter. Country stars are no exceptions. Here are a few of your favorite country stars tweeting about the election last night.

Last year I did an interesting article on how some big singers are no longer found on the list of the CMA award nominees.  Artists who were once mainstays at awards shows - like Reba McEntire, George Strait, Tim McGraw, and Alan Jackson - find themselves booted out of the main categories, with the focus on the hot new talent of the day.

Since I received my copy of Jamey Johnson's 'Living For A Song: A Tribute To Hank Cochran,' I have probably listened to it at least four times. Cochran's name may not be familiar to your average country fan, but once you see the titles he's written, you will realize that you do know this man!

Willie Nelson is one of the most prolific and celebrated songwriters of his generation, and a musical and cultural icon as well. The legendary country performer is set to reveal some new stories and insights into his life and music with the upcoming publication of Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die: Musings From the Road, which he will release on November 13 through William Morrow.

Since 1985, Willie Nelson and friends have been hosting the longest-running benefit concert in the country,  Farm Aid!  The 2012 Farm Aid has been announced for Hershey, Pennsylvania, and includes a diverse line-up.

Just about all day you will hear references to 4/20 either in person or on Facebook. Though I do not partake in the activities that have made this date famous I would be remiss if I didn't celebrate Country musics pioneer of all things GREEN, Mr Willie Nelson!!! W...

We recently featured Willie Nelson on WGNA's Sunday Morning Classic Country Hall of Fame Show. If you missed our tribute to the great Country Music Hall of Famer, we've put together a list of our favorite Willie Nelson Songs.

Through the years several Country Music stars have landed themselves in trouble with the law. Randy Travis recently joined that long and interesting list of Country Music stars who now have their own mug shots.

Willie Nelson has been known to step up, speak up and help several causes to make this world a better place.  On October 29, I'm hosting a bus trip to see the Country Music Hall of Famer live in concert, and once again, we've learned of another great Willie Nelson project.

The Music and Memories of Aug. 13

Every year I have the pleasure of hosting bus trips to see artists that don't often play in the Capital Region.  I'm happy to report that our next big trip is to see American Music Legend Willie Nelson!
