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.
