Synopsis
In a long, successful, and at times controversial career, the prolific country artist Willie Nelson's output has encompassed both international pop hits like "To All the Girls I've Loved Before," his duet with Julio Iglesias, and pop standards, in his phenomenally successful album, STARDUST. First published in 1988, his autobiography, WILLIE, is a sentimental look back at his life thus far, covering episodes from the writing of his first big hit, 1960's "Family Bible," which he ill-advisedly sold for $50, to his momentous involvement with the charity organization Farm Aid in 1985. He doesn't neglect his often tumultuous personal life, which has included three marriages (his third is on the rocks at the book's outset), mostly blaming his musician's lifestyle and well-known pot-smoking habit for their failure, and is similarly candid in recounting his numerous problems with alcohol. Nelson is a natural rebel, inhabiting his outlaw reputation like an old, well-worn pair of cowboy boots; his iconoclastic yet good-natured attitude permeates this agreeably laconic tour through his back pages.
