Willie Nelson - First Rose of Spring (2020) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Willie Nelson has delayed the release of his upcoming album First Rose of Spring until July 3rd.

Willie Nelson will turn 87 on April 29th — on April 24th, he’ll release his 70th album. Titled First Rose of Spring, the record features two new songs written by Nelson with producer Buddy Cannon, and Nelson’s interpretations of tracks penned by Toby Keith, Chris Stapleton, and his longtime friend and contemporary Billy Joe Shaver. The country legend, whose last album was Ride Me Back Home, tackles Keith’s “Don’t Let the Old Man In,” Stapleton’s “Our Song,” and Shaver’s “We Are the Cowboys.”

Ahead of the release, Nelson shares the title track today. It’s a mournful ballad but shot through with unfailing hope, written by Randy Houser, Allen Shamblin, and Mark Beeson.

Elsewhere on the album, he interprets Roy Clark’s signature song “Yesterday When I Was Young” and Pete Graves’ “Just Bummin’ Around.”
