Willie Nelson to release new album and cannabis cookbook while reflecting on his career
Willie Nelson, 91, will release his new album "Last Leaf on the Tree" on Friday. This marks his 76th solo album and is produced entirely by his son, Micah. The album features original songs and covers from artists like Neil Young and Beck. Nelson reflects on his long career, noting the loss of his friend Kris Kristofferson, who passed away last month. He acknowledges being the last surviving member of the Outlaw Country era and discusses themes of love and death in his music. In addition to the album, Nelson and his wife, Annie, will publish "Willie and Annie Nelson’s Cannabis Cookbook." The book stems from their belief in the medicinal properties of food and cannabis, inspired by a time when Willie needed relief from pneumonia.
