About this listen
Willie Nelson has been quite active in recent days despite some health concerns that required brief rest. The 92-year-old country legend recently had to cancel some shows and was advised by doctors to rest for four days, though he's expected to make a quick recovery.
Just two days ago on October 24th, Nelson released a heartfelt new holiday single called "Christmas Love Song" through Legacy Recordings. The track was written by Country Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson along with Bobby Tomberlin and Marv Green, and produced by Nelson's longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon. The song features top Nashville musicians backing Nelson and his iconic guitar Trigger, with Mickey Raphael on harmonica. A lyric video is scheduled to drop on November 18th.
This holiday release comes ahead of Nelson's upcoming studio album "Workin' Man: Willie Sings Merle," dropping on November 7th. The 11-track collection pays tribute to Merle Haggard with Nelson's interpretations of classic songs including "Mama Tried," "Okie From Muskogee," and "I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink."
Nelson was also recently captured on video performing at Farm Aid 40 in Minneapolis at Huntington Bank Stadium on September 20th. Videos of his performances of "On the Road Again" and "Last Leaf" were posted to YouTube on October 24th, showing the country icon still commanding the stage at the milestone 40th anniversary festival he helped found.
Unfortunately, Nelson has also been the target of death hoax rumors circulating on social media recently. Multiple websites have had to debunk false reports claiming the legendary singer had passed away, with no credible news organizations or official representatives confirming any such reports. These rumors appear to stem from a combination of his advanced age and the emotional tributes fans regularly post about him online, which sometimes get misinterpreted and spread rapidly across social media platforms.
