Willie Nelson was born on April 30, 1933, in the US state of Texas, to Abbot. His childhood is far from simple. First his father died, and then his mother left him with her sister. Willie worked in the cotton fields for ten years.

After graduation, Willie went to serve in the Air Force. That was the first time he worked as a salesman. He taught at Sunday school. But his main passion always remained the songs. Willie got married early.

First Willie Nelson participated in school bands. And even created his own called the Bohemian Polka band. Nelson began his serious music career in 1956. The first publishing houses did not take his record, because the sound was “raw” and old-fashioned at the time. That’s why Willie often gave them songs to other artists. And some of them became very popular. For example, “Nightlife”.

Promotion to your music career hampered and bad habits. He smoked marijuana and was addicted to alcohol. In addition, he also carried weapons without a license. As a result, there were often problems with the law. Tired of it, Nelson went to live in Austin, which is known as a very Democratic city. And it’s here that his music has acquired an unusual sound. It absorbs rock, western swing, folk, rock and jazz. Nelson got rid of bad habits and became a supporter of a healthy lifestyle. Morning exercise became a tradition for him.

In early 1970. he and W. Jennings grew a spade beard and began wearing faded jeans, opposing their polished entertainers’ perfectly cut jackets. Nelson was convinced that the style of country music had to go back to its cowboy roots. Willie with Jennings has tried to return to this genre’s long-lost energy.

In 1982, in “Song of the Year,” which was considered very prestigious, Willie Nelson’s album, which came out for nearly a year, even he received a “Grammy” award for his new rendition of ‘Always on my Mind’

Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson – famous country-style performers, with both famous awards received a “Grammy”. But in the second half of the 1990s the popularity of Willie began to decline sharply. Partly because of his fight to legalize marijuana. In one of the TV shows him all over the country proudly announcing that he smoked marijuana on the roof at the White House, and President James Carter gave a reception. Nelson wanted to get the attention of young people, and the result was an album with the addition of reggae.

In 2005, single “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fund of Each Other”, which became controversial. The name speaks of his secret love for each other cowboys. In 2006. Willy’s back on top of the music charts.
