Willie Nelson has announced that he has a new studio album on the way. It’s called "The Willie Nelson Family" and it’s out November 19th, 2021, via Legacy.
As its title indicates, "The Willie Nelson Family" includes several of Nelson’s kin, including his sister Bobbi, his sons Lukas and Micah, and his daughters Amy and Paula. The album also features contributions from Paul English, Nelson’s longtime drummer and confidant, who died early last year at 87.
The record includes versions of George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass” and Kris Kristofferson’s “Why Me”, in addition to the Carter Family favorite “Keep On The Sunnyside”. "The Willie Nelson Family" is Nelson’s 2nd album of the year, following February’s "That’s Life", his 2nd volume of Frank Sinatra covers.
