Willie Nelson: The Outlaw Details
In this intimate and engaging biography, Graeme Thomson interviews Nelson himself, his band and those who knew him best en route to discovering the real Willie Nelson. The Outlaw brilliantly describes a complex and compelling man whose life and music reflect something fundamental at the heart of twentieth-century America. Thomson's revealing portrait is a timely reminder of the stature and achievements of a true living legend. Covering everything from dirt poor beginnings in Texas, global fame in the 70s, four marriages, the death of a son and affairs with Amy Irving and Candice Bergen up to his current position as a 73-year-old pot smoking man of the road, Thomson's account emerges as the first detailed, clear-eyed account of Nelson's fascinating life.
Reviews
I enjoyed this book. It is well written & easy to read. Willie appears to be a totally different person to whom I thought he was.He is a quiet man and loved by all. Generous to a fault, some may say. But I believe he just loves to give.No doubt he can't give as he used to because the IRS took almost everything he owned from him & bled him dry at one point.But he bounced back with a little help from his friends. He has been, & still is, a hard working man who deserves to be able to keep all that he earns.Who cares if he prefers to smoke Marijuana rather than drink alcohol. Good on him I say. Each to his own.I highly recommend this book.Kay
