Willie Nelson to Release Book
Posted on September 2, 2008 with
Country music icons don’t get any bigger than Willie Nelson. Now, his foray into fiction adds to his already legendary career as an award-winning singer/songwriter, author and gritty modern-day hippie. A Tale Out of Luck, co-authored with Mike Blakely, is a classic western tale, that brings to life characters and themes central to any great Wild West novel—Texas Rangers, cattle rustling, Indians warriors, women of ill repute, saloons, shootouts and more.
A Tale Out of Luck was written by Nelson as the back story for his false-front western town which he built outside of Austin, and named, “Luck.” Recently, Luck has served as the backdrop for a variety of events and productions including commercials, and the country music video, “Beer for My Horses.” The book will be released September 3rd.

I think Willie Nelson just got his ticket on that Long Black Train with his sick song about bringing pot to the baby JESUS. I use to like Willie but I think he just lost a lot of real country fans and gained a lot of lost people and most of all that ticket on Josh’s Long Black Train.
