Description: Energy Follows Thought by Willie Nelson, David Ritz, Mickey Raphael "American icon Willie Nelson provides the stories behind the lyrics of 160 of his favorite songs, along with a dynamic assortment of never-before-seen photos and ephemera"-- FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description For the first time ever, and to help celebrate his 90th birthday in 2023, American icon Willie Nelson provides the stories behind the lyrics of 160 of his favorite songs, along with a dynamic assortment of never-before-seen photos and ephemera.From his earliest work in the 1950s to today, Willie looks back at the songs that have defined his career, from his days of earning $50 each to his biggest hits, from his less well-known songs (but incredibly meaningful to him) to his concept albums. Along the way, he also shares the stories of his guitar Trigger, his family and "family," as well as the artists he collaborated with, including Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings, Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, Dolly Parton, and many others.Willie is disarmingly honest—what do you have to lose when youre about to turn 90 —meditating on the nature of songwriting and finding his voice, and the themes hes explored his whole life—relationships, infidelity, love, loss, friendship, life on the road, and particularly poignant at this juncture of his life: mortality.Revealing, funny, whimsical, and wise, this book is an enduring tribute to Willie Nelsons legacy. Author Biography Willie Nelson is one of the most popular, prolific, and influential songwriters and singers in the history of American music. He has recorded more than one hundred albums over six decades, appeared in several films, and written two New York Times bestsellers: Willie: An Autobiography and The Facts of Life and Other Dirty Jokes.Micah Nelson is a musician, visual artist, and videographer, and plays regularly with his father Willie Nelson. Review "[An] irresistible outing . . [Nelsons] intelligence and wisdom shine through . . . Fans will relish these insights into the singer-songwriters many avatars: the kid growing up poor with close ties to his church and family; the political activist who wrote "Vote Em Out" for Beto ORourkes 2018 senatorial campaign; and the enigmatic, sui generis artist. This is a treasure." — Publishers Weekly"In a wry narrative shot through with a loopy, stoner spiritualism, the great songwriter and outlaw country artist takes a ramble through his back pages. . . . A lively accompaniment to Nelsons sprawling, genre-crossing, delightful catalog of recordings." — Kirkus Reviews"[Willie Nelsons] songwriting has consistently been indicative of a born storyteller. Its fun and, at times, illuminating to read about where some of those stories stemmed from. The photos are great too. . . . A sweet and intimate retrospective of a long and prolific career. This book will make readers feel like theyve sat down with Nelson, who has just regaled them with tales." — Library Journal"Throughout this lovely act of looking back and moving forward, Nelson wears his well-worn heart on his sleeve. . . . Willie Nelsons many admirers cross myriad lines, and they will eagerly pursue this chance to get close to their idol." — Booklist"[R]eflective and thoughtful . . . [Nelsons] commentary is clear, introspective, patient and wise—showing how his 90 years have funneled into a new perspective on his lyricism and canon. The stories read like Willie himself is sitting across the dinner table from you, regaling you of his best stories from years past." — The Tennessean Details ISBN0063272202 Author Mickey Raphael Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Year 2023 ISBN-13 9780063272200 Format Hardcover Subtitle The Stories Behind My Songs Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States UK Release Date 2023-11-09 ISBN-10 0063272202 Publication Date 2023-11-23 Audience General US Release Date 2023-11-23 Pages 400 DEWEY 782.421642092 Imprint William Morrow NZ Release Date 2023-11-14 AU Release Date 2023-11-14 Imprint US William Morrow Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
