The “Red Headed Stranger” and his faithful guitar Trigger are back at Britt this year with his unmistakable voice and a five-decade-long catalog of some of the greatest country music ever penned and played. Since the release of his first single in 1956, Willie Nelson has become an icon in the world of popular music for his heartfelt performances, inspired songwriting and by putting his unique stamp on standards from the American Songbook. Nelson’s a true American original and, without a doubt, one of the most significant voices in music over the last half century. On March 29, Blue Note released Nelson’s latest album, Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles, a collaboration with jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and singer Norah Jones. Special guest TBA.
