More about Willie Nelson's career
Willie Hugh Nelson, born in Abbot, Texas in 1933, is an American singer-songwriter and activist. Nelson wrote his first song to support his family during the Great Depression of the 1930s, before he joined the U.S. Airforce, where he remained till his discharge due to back problems.
After his discharge from the military, Nelson began working as a radio disk jockey in the 1950s, continuing to hone his skills as a singer-songwriter on the side.
During this period, he had his first string of successes with country music, writing what would eventually become the staple of country music radio, such as Funny How Time Slips Away, Hello Walls, Pretty Paper, and Crazy.
After struggling through the 1960s, with his music failing to attract significant commercial sales and struggling with debt, Nelson started his musical turnover with the 1973 album, Shotgun Willie, which received positive reviews but attracted very little commercial sales.
He followed it up with another album , Phases and Stages, released in 1974, producing a commercial hit for the first time in years with the song Bloody Mary Morning.
It was with the 1975 album, Red Headed Stranger, that Nelson finally found both critical acclaim as well as commercial success, with the album reaching number 1 on the Billboard Country chart, as well as number 28 on the Top LPs & Tapes chart.
Willie Nelson is recognized as one of the founding members of the sub-genre of American country music known as Outlaw Country. This came into existence as a group of country musicians, including Nelson, attempted to push the boundaries of country music in theme and tonality, not in accordance with acknowledged standards of the era.
