Based on VH1's phenomenally successful series 'Behind the Music' this is the second in a series of books that offers more interviews, photos and related information than in the original one-hour show. Here is just some of what the companion book to WILLIE NELSON will feature: a complete biography, hardscabble beginnings in Abbott, Texas; early marriages and selling his first songs; his breakthrough songs of 'Family Bible' and 'Night Life'. The hits: he writes 'Crazy' for Patsy Cline, 'Hello Walls' for Faron Young, and 'Funny How Time Slips Away' for Billy Walker. The years of the Red-Headed Stranger and superstardom; The Outlaw years, with a cast including country music's greats; Farm Aid and Willie's own IRS problems.
