Willie Nelson: First Rose of Spring

Willie Nelson First Rose of Spring SMG Weary-voiced and only occasionally “Trigger”-happy with his guitaring these days, the 87-year-old Willie Nelson sure knows how to tug at heartstrings as he expertly chooses songs that concern themselves with aging and life-reflection. At this point he could cover a death metal ode to Satan and make it […]
