Watch Willie Nelson's Latest Video, 'it Gets Easier,' From 'god's Problem Child' Album

... of freedom that comes with advancing years and the inevitability of certain regrets as he continues, “I don’t have to do/ One damn thing I don’t want to do/ Except for missing you/ And that won’t go away.”. The outdoor scenes are interwoven with footage of Nelson seated in a recording studio before a microphone, gently singing the song using his signature elastic phrasing, no unnecessary frills in his wispy-around-the-edges vocal. “We weren’t planning on making a concept record or anything,” Cannon told music journalist Mikal Gilmore in an essay about the album that’s expected to be posted on Nelson’s website , “but it kind of turned out like that.”. Along with “It Gets Easier,” Nelson and Cannon wrote eight other songs for the collection, the most Nelson has composed for an album in years. The title track was written by Jamey Johnson and Tony Joe White, and it closes with a song Gary Nicholson wrote with Nelson in mind and ...

Wind Energy, Class Size, John Wiley Price, Willie Nelson, University Of Texas, Trump-free Front Page

... They are unsightly, noisy and kill birds. And now Robert Bryce tells us they also have "too big a footprint" and that "we can't rely on it for major cuts in emissions.". That's a respectable list of cons - reasons to turn away from wind power - especially if you are an apologist for hydraulic fracturing like the Manhattan Institute. On the pro side of the equation is the fact that there are zero carbon emissions associated with the operation of wind turbines. Zero. And that's the point, after all. Also, wind power offers unlimited energy potential, is totally renewable, creates jobs, is declining in cost and is the wave of the future as other countries like China are seeing. I propose that we redouble development of wind energy while acknowledging and dealing with the legitimate concerns of those who might be ...

Willie Nelson Returns, Vince Staples Tests New Music, Austin Trolls Trump & More

... rough go of it at SXSW - the booze and the Spring Break contingent make crowds anything but patient - but even by those standards, Buffalo, N. Y.-bred songstress Julie Byrne had a challenging night. She soundchecked while pulsating dance music played and some frat boys bellowed an unintelligible chant over an already loud crowd. After she and her keyboardist strode onstage at precisely 11 bells, she said, “I’m gonna warn you, it’s about to get really, really chill up here.” She gamely played a pair of her stately, folk-based acoustic songs from her latest album, Not Even Happiness, before telling the crowd, “Our flight from New York was cancelled by the snowstorm. So you know what we did? We drove - for 24 hours. And guess when we got here? An hour ago.” (Heaven knows where they parked in the gridlocked and near-military lockdown of central Austin, where the cheapest parking during SXSW week is $20.) They launched into another song that was drowned out by the beer boys behind us, and we decided to call it a night and give Julie another shot under more forgiving circumstances. - JA. ...

Yes, Caroline, There Is A Willie Nelson

... Texas would be if there were no Willie Nelson. It would be as dreary as if there were no Waylons, or T-Bones, or Selenas, or Beyonces. There wouldn't hardly be any country music then, at least not the way he does it: no "Whiskey River," no "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," no "Good Hearted Woman," no "Crazy" to make this life tolerable. Michael Hogue/DMN Staff. Not believe in Willie Nelson?! You might as well not believe in Luckenbach! You might get your father to hire men to sit in every dance hall in Texas to catch Willie Nelson, but even if they did not see the Red Headed Stranger take the stage, what would that prove? He's ever on the road again, going places that he's never been. The most real things in all of Texas are those that neither roughnecks nor cowpokes can see. Did you ever see the lights dancing on the desert in Marfa? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. You may tear apart a snake's rattle and see what makes the ...

Tragic Willie Nelson Fighting To Breathe

... please sign me up to receive The Daily Juice Privacy Policy. Tragic Willie Nelson Fighting To Breathe. Willie Nelson's future may have gone up in smoke. Posted on. Mar 13, 2017 @ 7:18 AM. FADING cowboy legend Willie Nelson is so ill, he can’t muster the breath to sing — and his desperate battle for life has forced the Red Headed Stranger singer to cancel two shows at Las Vegas’ glitzy Venetian Resort, says a source. The 83-year-old pothead has been ravaged by emphysema and pneumonia in recent years, now sources say he’s weak as a baby. “Willie’s been so frail and gaunt… a pale shadow of the man he used to be,” a source tells Radar. “He’s never fully recovered from the last time when he was deathly ill, more than a year ago. It’s now come back to hit him like a ton of bricks. PHOTOS: Flirting With Disaster! Selena’s Fling With The Weeknd Leaves Closest Friends ‘Worried’. “If he can’t get a deep breath in and his voice is a croak — there’s no way he can sing.”.
