Non-Fiction Biography
A dope-smoking, whisky-drinking, latter-day cowboy with
Native American blood, four wives and seven children,
Nelson's career spans half a century of American music.
Nelson's life is a journey of incredible highs and crashing
lows. Awards, huge record sales, famous friends, the
organising of Farm Aid, his annual Fourth of July picnics,
Woodstock '99 and the 9/11 memorial, are tempered by his
mother and father's early desertion, penury, alcoholism,
three turbulent marriages, drug busts, bankruptcy, as well
as his son's suicide and an attempt at taking his own life.
The Outlaw brilliantly describes this compelling man,
whose
life and music reveals and reflects something fundamental at
the very heart of twentieth-century America, explaining
along the way why Willie Nelson is nothing short of a living
legend.
