WILLIE NELSON-SUMMER OF ROSES

Nelson moved to Nashville in 1960, but was unable to land a record label contract. He did, however, receive a publishing contract at Pamper Music. After Ray Price recorded Nelson’s “Night Life” (reputedly the most covered country song of all time; a version “Night Life” was even recorded by convicted killer and former cult leader Charles Manson[5]), Nelson joined Price’s touring band as a bass player. While playing with Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys, many of Nelson’s songs became hits for some of country and pop music’s biggest stars of the time. These songs include “Funny How Time Slips Away” (Billy Walker), “Hello Walls” (Faron Young), “Pretty Paper” (Roy Orbison) and most famously, “Crazy” (Patsy Cline). Nelson signed with Liberty Records in 1961 and released several singles, including “Willingly” (sung with his wife, Shirley Collie) and “Touch Me.” He was unable to keep his momentum going, however, and Nelson’s career ground to a halt. Demo recordings from his years as a songwriter for Pamper Music were later discovered and released as Crazy: The Demo Sessions (2003). [edit] Austin In 1965, Nelson moved to RCA Victor Records and joined the Grand Ole Opry. He followed this with a series of minor hits and then retired and moved to Austin, Texas. While in Austin, with its burgeoning “hippie” music scene (see Armadillo World Headquarters), Nelson decided to return to music. His popularity in Austin soared, as he played his own brand of country music marked by rock and roll, jazz, western swing, and folk influences. A lifelong passion for running and a new commitment to his own health also began during this period. In the mid 1970’s, Nelson purchased property near Lake Travis in Austin and built Pedernales Studio. The studio underwent state of the art renovations in the mid 1990’s, and many top recording artists adorn its client list. Its amenities include a 9-hole golf course, tennis courts and an Olympic size swimming pool. [edit] Outlaw country l-r Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings at Willie’s 4th of July Picnic 1972.Nelson signed with Atlantic Records and released Shotgun Willie (1973), which won excellent reviews but did not sell well. Phases and Stages (1974), a concept album inspired by his divorce, included the hit single “Bloody Mary Morning.” Nelson then moved to Columbia Records, where he was given complete creative control over his work. The result was the critically acclaimed, massively popular concept album, Red Headed Stranger (1975). Although Columbia was reluctant to release an album with primarily a guitar and piano for accompaniment, Nelson insisted (with the assistance of Waylon Jennings) and the album was a huge hit, partially because it included a popular cover of “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” (written by Fred Rose in 1945). “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” became Nelson’s first number one hit as a singer. Along with Nelson, Waylon Jennings was also achieving success in country music in the early 1970s, and the pair were soon combined into a genre called outlaw country (”outlaw” because it did not conform to Nashville standards). Nelson’s outlaw image was cemented with the release of the album Wanted! The Outlaws (1976, with Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter and Tompall Glaser), country music’s first platinum album. Nelson continued to top the charts with hit songs during the late 1970s, including “Good Hearted Woman” (a duet with Jennings), “Remember Me”, “If You’ve Got the Money I’ve Got the Time”, “Uncloudy Day”, “I Love You a Thousand Ways”, and “Something to Brag About” (a duet with Mary Kay Place). In 1978, Nelson released two more platinum albums, Waylon and Willie (a collaboration with Jennings that included “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” which was written and originally recorded as a hit single by Ed Bruce a couple of years earlier), and Stardust, an unusual album of popular standards. It was produced by Booker T. Jones. Though most observers predicted that Stardust would ruin his career, it ended up being one of his most successful recordings. PARTIAL BIO TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA
