In his long and eclectic career, Willie Nelson has recorded country music, standards and gospel. Now with the release of Milk Cow Blues, his third album for Island Records, Willie Nelson has added the blues to his extensive musical repertoire.
Growing up in a tiny central Texas farming community of Abbott, Willie Nelson is no stranger to the blues. Hearing gospel from his grandparents, blues and Mexican corridas from the migrant and tenant farmers, and country and Western Swing hits on the airwaves has inevitably created his own style. From his 1975 breakthrough album, RedHeaded Stranger, to his current blues album, Willie Nelson has made a mark in musical history.
