LeAnn Rimes and Willie Nelson Willie's on the road again. Singer, songwriter, actor and humanitarian activist Willie Nelson is coming to Murphys! Come see the legendary country music artist at the beautiful Ironstone Amphitheatre. Nelson is an American icon who is beyond a typical music genre. To date he has written over 2,500 songs and released more than 300 albums....
Nelson has remained in the spotlight through his music, acting and support of social causes such as: Farm Aid, the development of bio-diesel and the legalization of marijuana.
Opening up for Nelson is LeAnn Rimes.
The title of Willie Nelson's solo debut on Blue Note Records, American Classic, refers as much to the man himself as to the storied Tin Pan Alley repertoire he explores on this elegant new set. While it's common now for mature pop artists to attempt to put their own stamp on the American Songbook, Nelson practically invented the approach. He set the standard for, well, playing the standards more than thirty years ago with Stardust, perhaps this "outlaw" entertainer's most daring move, an album that many industry
pundits thought would get him laughed off the charts and out of the biz. Instead, the Booker T. Jones-produced Stardust-which showcased material from the Gershwins, Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael and Kurt Weill, among others, in spare, easy-going arrangements-became the most successful album of his career thus far.
LeAnn turned 25 on August 28, the day her new album hits store shelves. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, she won her first talent contest at age five and at seven she had recorded her first album. By then her family had relocated to Garland, Texas. She began honing her skills as a country artist performing on Johnnie High's Country Music Revue in Ft. Worth, a popular show that featured local artists and national acts. LeAnn recorded her second album at the tender age of 11. That project featured "Blue," and caught the attention of legendary executive Mike Curb who signed her to Curb Records. By 13, she had a national hit.
