Journey through Willie Nelson's rebellious, prolific, and enduring career with this richly illustrated tour of the beloved singer-songwriter's 100-plus albums.

Few musicians or celebrities are as widely adored as Willie Nelson. The legendary Texas singer-songwriter is still recording and performing music well into his nineties. In this photo-filled coffee-table gift book, noted country/roots/Americana music writer Geoffrey Himes traces Nelson's entire career through the lens of his albums, examining:

• Nelson's influences and early career as a songwriter
• The circumstances of each album's writing and recording
• Studio musicians and personnel
• How each album fit into Nelson's career arc and the evolution of his craft

In addition, Himes offers a sidebar for each album that includes:

• An image of the album sleeve
• Recording and release dates
• Single releases
• Chart positions for singles and albums

Along the way, read about Nelson's film roles, notable collaborators, famous Fourth of July picnics, iconic Martin guitar "Trigger," and involvement in causes like Farm Aid, biodiesel fuels, and marijuana legalization.

The text, together with more than 250 images of Nelson on- and offstage, make for a unique and visually entertaining celebration of an American treasure who has transcended America's increasing polarization to become a national treasure.
