Circa sessant’anni di carriera, oltre 100 album registrati, 10 Grammy vinti e un posto d’onore nella storia della musica. Senza scordare l’attivismo per la legalizzazione della marijuana, la fondazione di un’importante organizzazione filantropica, una carriera d’attore di successo e una vita personale molto chiacchierata: quella di Willie Nelson è una storia come nessun’altra. In questa monumentale autobiografia, il celebre musicista texano di sangue cherokee ci regala l’avvincente racconto della sua esistenza straordinaria: l’infanzia e la giovinezza ad Abbott, Texas, insieme ai nonni; il tentativo di sfuggire al lavoro come raccoglitore di cotone nei campi dell’Arkansas grazie alla radio; il successo con la musica; gli alti e bassi dei suoi matrimoni; le lotte anti-proibizioniste; l’impegno civile; i tour con Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson e Waylon Jennings riuniti nel super gruppo degli Highwaymen; i problemi con la legge; le tante storie “al limite” vissute lungo la strada. Quella di Willie Nelson, il fuorilegge del country rock, è la grande epopea di un uomo libero e appassionato, che con la sua musica ha saputo toccare il cuore e l’anima di milioni di persone nel mondo.

Five decades in the music industry, 100 albums, 10 Grammys, the Kennedy Center Honors, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Add high-profile activism for the legalisation of marijuana, the foundation of a ground-breaking philanthropic organisation, and a much-publicised personal life - Willie Nelson''s is a story like no other. Born during the great depression in 1933 and raised by his grandparents, he began singing in dance halls and Honky Tonks at the age of 13, as an escape from working as a cotton picker in the fields of Arkansas. He went on to write some of the most popular country songs of all time, and to record some classic versions of others, including Crazy, Bring Me Sunshine, Always on my Mind and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. An American icon who still tours extensively and headlines music festivals, Willie Nelson and his music have found their way into the hearts and minds of fans all over the world. Now 81 years of age, Nelson leaves no experience or moment unturned as he shares the full story. From his drive to write music to the women in his life; from his collaborations to his bankruptcy to the foundation of Farm Aid; Nelson shares, in his distinct voice, soaring highs and painful lows.
