Nelson, the last surviving member of the Highwaymen, has outlasted most of his generation of outlaw country musicians. And he is still releasing albums--and featuring on tracks with current superstars such as Beyoncé. Willie is an American institution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWillie Nelson on Willie Nelson\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of interviews that illuminates him not only as a musician but also as an actor, writer, political and animal-rights activist, drug advocate, and environmentalist. \u003c\/b\u003eThese interviews with Nelson, many of them unseen for decades, range from the early 1970s to 2020 and take us through the ups and downs of his remarkable life and into the compositional history of his most beloved songs and albums. \u003cbr\u003e This collection reveals the icon as a complex and contradictory man, elusive at times, outspoken at others. It celebrates the life and work not only of Nelson but also a bevy of committed journalists, some of them amateur, whom Nelson welcomed, one and all, to share his sometimes-radical worldview with an adoring public. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWillie Nelson on Willie Nelson\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive source for anyone wanting to authentically encounter the legend in print.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Maher Jr.\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of B\u003ci\u003eecoming Kerouac: A Writer In His Time\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the editor of \u003ci\u003eMiles on Miles \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTom Waits on Tom Waits \u003c\/i\u003eamong other titles.
