Willie Nelson: An Epic Life

Joe Nick Patoski has written a book on the legend singer with the above title.

The NYT states: “Patoski has been thorough, conducting more than a hundred interviews and drawing on extensive historical research and an impressive
familiarity with the 300-plus albums that form Nelson’s oeuvre. Nelson has long seemed the personification of “laid back,” but it is his quiet determination and unwavering focus that shine through the pages of this admirable biography.”“Writing with an affectionate country twang, Patoski gives his subject the consideration he deserves in a fine, fluid piece of storytelling that any Nelson fan will appreciate,” Publishers Weekly notes. Published by Little, Brown and Company, the biography is illustrated, and finishes at 576 pages. The NYT has provided a chapter excerpt for fans to marvel over. Patoski is known for his previous works on other Texas singers, including Selena and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Click here to read the NYT review.
