101 Series Lesson 98: Willie Nelson

There are few artists in this world who belong on Mt. Rushmore. Fewer look like they’re already carved out of granite. In Lesson 98 of the 101 Series we put the spotlight on an all-time legend: Mr. Willie Nelson. Pull up some rolling papers and a light, in the next two hours we explore a wide array of both originals and cover versions in various genres. There’s not too much you can say about Willie that hasn’t been said, so it’s best just to listen as we travel from the 1960s to the present. Smoke ’em if you got him . . . and we know Willie’s got ’em . . .
