A freelance writer with a strong interest in Texas and its music, he seems to have tracked down every song Nelson ever wrote, every engagement he ever played, every recording he ever made, and so far as I can tell he has left out absolutely nothing., A freelance writer with a strong interest in Texas and its music, he seems to have tracked down every song Nelson ever wrote, every engagement he ever played, every recording he ever made, and so far as I can tell he has left out absolutely nothing.-- The Washington Post, Patoski tells wonderful stories, infusing his narrative with rich detail illustrating Willie's artistic development and its roots in his family's pre-Texas years inArkansas., For a guy who isn't me, Joe Nick Patoski can really write. Willie Nelson: An Epic Life is heartbreaking enough to have been ghostwritten by Hank Williams. It may be the best book ever written about the life of Texas's greatest gift to the world., This impressive, entertaining chronicle ofWillie Nelson's life is replete with exactly what you'd expect-honky-tonk, longnights on the open road, whiskey, womanizing and weed-but Texas writer Patoski( Stevie Ray Vaughan: Caught in the Crossfire , Texas Mountains )looks beyond country music trappings to find the funny, talented, determinedman who became an unlikely icon. ... Patoski conducted over a hundred interviews for this thorough,well-noted "epic," peopling it with "pickers, gypsies, pirates, vagabonds,wanderers and carneys," including fellow performers like Kris Kristofferson,Kinky Friedman and Leona Williams. Writing with an affectionate country twang,Patoski gives his subject the consideration he deserves in a fine, fluid pieceof storytelling that any Nelson fan will appreciate., A freelance writer with a strong interest inTexasand its music, he seems to have tracked down every song Nelson ever wrote, every engagement he ever played, every recording he ever made, and so far as I can tell he has left out absolutely nothing., An expansive, engrossing, and epic look at the life of a true American icon.

The author is especially fine in the early going, colorfully recalling Willie's many years on the beer-joint circuit and the cast of sketchy characters who trod those hardwood floors. But Nelson doesn't get any free passes: Patoski dwells in depth on his capriciousness, quick temper, hard-partying lifestyle, infidelities and four tempesturous marriages, as well as his headline-making '90s tax case. The result is a warm, honest portrait of a compulsively footloose, restless artist at home in any musical style ... and truly at home only on his tour bus.

Synopsis
From his first performance at age four, Willie Nelson was driven to make music and live life on his own terms. But though he is a songwriter of exceptional depth - "Crazy" was one of his early classics - Willie only found success after abandoning Nashville and moving to Austin, Texas. Red Headed Stranger made country cool to a new generation of fans. Wanted: The Outlaws became the first country album to sell a million copies. And "On the Road Again" became the anthem for Americans on the move. A craggy-faced, pot-smoking philosopher, Willie Nelson is one of America's great iconoclasts and idols. Now Joe Nick Patoski draws on over 100 interviews with Willie and his family, band, and friends to tell Nelson's story, from humble Depression-era roots, to his musical education in Texas honky-tonks and his flirtations with whiskey, women, and weed; from his triumph with #1 hit "Always On My Mind" to his nearly career-ending battles with debt and the IRS; and his ultimate redemption and ascension to American hero, From his first performance at age four, Willie Nelson was driven to make music and live life on his own terms.

- r***3 (11)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaPrint and frame were absolutely beautiful and I'm so happy to have it in my possession. It reminds me of a similar print my grandma had when I was growing up. Package was so thoughtfully and extremely well packed. Shipping was a little involved with USPS needing a signature and having an unclear drop off schedule, which was not on the part of the seller. Overall, I would purchase again from this seller.
