The iconic American country singer-songwriter, author, poet, actor and activist may have reached his greatest fame during the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, but still remains a staggering figure in American popular culture. As a songwriter and a performer, Willie Nelson played a vital role in defining post-rock & roll country music; penning songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price ("Night Life"), Patsy Cline ("Crazy"). During his lengthy career, Nelson has covered a lot of musical territory and never played it safe musically. Instead, he has borrowed from a wide variety of styles, including traditional pop, Western swing, jazz, traditional country, cowboy songs, honky tonk, rock & roll, folk, and the blues, creating a distinctive, elastic hybrid. Now in his 70s, Willie Nelson continues to tour and to record albums prolifically in new genres that have embraced reggae, blues, jazz, folk, and popular music. He has remained a vital icon in country music, having greatly influenced the new country, new traditionalist, and alternative country movements as leaving behind a legacy of classic songs and recordings.
